Leave your thoughts about All Light, Everywhere.
| CineVueChristopher MachellAll Light, Everywhere is, most importantly, a history of our technological attempts to offer objective views of the world. But instead of charting our striving to capture of reality, what is revealed is its fabrication. |
| Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiAll Light, Everywhere’s roaming tangents always return to the heart (or the eye) of the matter, and that skill of orchestration is no mean feat. |
| Vanity FairCassie da CostaAll Light, Everywhere is a tremendous work that anyone merely curious about the various relationships the government has to both private industry and an enormous public ought to see. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenTheo Anthony’s film is a playful, enraging, free-associative cine-essay that both expands and eats itself alive as it proceeds. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeIt springs restlessly between ideas and, while it doesn’t quite cohere into a neat central thesis, the film did leave me with both the means and the inclination to do some further thinking on the subject. |
| The Associated PressJake CoyleIt’s an exploration that touches not just on policing and justice, but astronomy, politics, phrenology and race. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzIt's to the credit of Anthony, who wrote and edited as well as directed, and his cinematographer Corey Hughes, that you come away thinking about parts of the film that felt like cut-able digressions and undergraduate musings when you were watching them. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenAll Light, Everywhere is very smart and extremely meta (Anthony often films himself and his crew setting up a shot, to emphasize the observational point), though it can be a bit dry. |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangIf perception has its limitations, this deeply sobering, stimulating film suggests, that may be another way of saying that it is fundamentally limitless. There is so much — too much — to see here, and no end of vantages from which to see it. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottIn a manner that is patient — and sometimes even playful — rather than polemical, “All Light, Everywhere” contributes to debates about crime, policing, racism and accountability. |
