Movie Reviews

Sly Fox - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA brilliant, haunting and informative expose' not to be missed and not to be forgotten at awards season!
NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferA provocative, non-preachy, vital and illuminating documentary with quietly powerful and haunting images.

Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Eric MonderLee Anne Schmitt's simultaneously haunting and tiresome documentary is like a New Age western with its fond look backward and harsh criticism of the present.
