Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 7/10 by Anita GatesThe first half of Behind the Blue Veil makes a case for the noble cause of preserving a way of life; the second half admits its near-futility.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckThe film is more impressionistic than informative, lacking the necessary dramatic structure to make it truly compelling.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Zachary WigonWhat we're presented with is a scattering of scenes amid an overpowering backdrop of geopolitical and anthropological explanation, and nothing resembling drama.
