Leave your thoughts about Buried Prayers.
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderIt takes excavation on the viewer's part, but Buried Prayers contains people and stories worthy of discovery and discussion. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanSteven Meyer's deeply affecting documentary, narrated by Laurie Anderson, takes us back to a camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, Majdanek, in order to honor those who left everything behind. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe film would be stronger if it told us a little more about what the survivors have been doing since the camp was liberated by the Soviets in 1944, but their reactions to revisiting the camp are wrenching to watch. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerWith the survivors' physical presence amongst Nazi slaughterhouses as its own powerful statement, Buried Prayers is a nonfiction work that confronts Holocaust atrocities from a piercing ground-level view. |
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerDocumentary's insistent inflation of buried gold jewelry and watches into symbols of heroic defiance and transcendental tragedy rings hollow in the wake of weightier Holocaust testimonials. |
