Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 9/10 by Phil HallObviously, this is one subject which may not seem to require the attention of documentary filmmakers.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Marrit IngmanA bright, amiable chronicle of the vivid lives of the women of Juchitán.
New York Times - 6/10 by Dana StevensMaureen Gosling's documentary aims to demythologize the Zapotec people of Juchitán, a town on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in southeastern Mexico.
Film Journal International - 5/10 by Maria GarciaWhile Blossoms of Fire avoids the fluff and sensationalism of an Elle article, it is by no means the last word on Zapotec culture.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Phyllis FongBacked by folk songs and swirling shots of fiestas and markets, Blossoms is feel-good tourism but by its own bounds only woolly anthropology.
User Review - 6/10 by Gregory Wgreat doc which shed some light on such diverse things (for me) as why frida painted herself in the native lace costumes and their deeper meanings in some of her art, this doc manages to both teach & delight.
