Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 8/10 by Scott FoundasEngaging, elegantly made surf documentary.
Variety - 8/10 by Robert KoehlerWith verve, style and a fine sense of the human side of surf culture, Jeremy Gosch makes a terrific splash with his debut doc, Bustin' Down the Door.
TV Guide Magazine - 8/10 by Maitland McDonaghJeremy Gosch's documentary about the origins of professional surfing shines a light on four wave riders – three Australians and a South African – who helped transform a counter-culture life style into a billion-dollar industry.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Nathan LeeThe darker side of the story -- how the advent of pro surfing was taken as an act of cultural colonialism by some of the locals -- adds gravity to this otherwise lightweight, if amiable summer diversion.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckMainly will appeal to devotees, but even nonfans might want to appreciate its visual splendors on the big screen.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Joe NeumaierSome of the talk gets a little bombastic, but it's hard to deny the thrill involved.
