Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Scott TobiasBy turns playful, harrowing, intensely moving, and uproariously funny, Chain Camera cuts away all documentary artifice and goes straight to the source, allowing these kids to reveal themselves with the utmost directness and candor.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 8/10 by John LeonardKirby Dick... edited 700 hours down into sixteen self-portraits of mostly anxious teenagers, a sort of United Nations of unhappiness, thinking out loud about fathers, sex, race, politics, drugs, and music.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickA fascinating snapshot of contemporary teenagers.
Mr. Showbiz - 8/10 by Kevin MaynardThe results are far more real than MTV's The Real World.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Manohla DargisHilarious, unnerving and remarkably intimate portrait of multiethnic adolescent life that lends vigorous new meaning to the term "teen movie."
culturevulture.net - 8/10 by George WuKirby's egalitarian impulses get the best of him as he devotes time pretty evenly to each student regardless of how interesting they are individually.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Ron WellsKirby Dick isn't in the habit of making his presence felt on camera, and his newest documentary allows his subjects to strictly speak for themselves.
New Times (L.A.) - 7/10 by Gregory WeinkaufGuaranteed to jolt viewers of a Norman Rockwell mentality well into the 21st century.
TV Guide Magazine - 7/10 by Ken FoxWhat's surprising is how bright and engaging these kids are, and for once you're left wanting more.
Variety - 7/10 by David RooneyProvides an intriguing, well-assembled snapshot of kids in the year 2000, bringing the portraits to an appealing conclusion by briefly revisiting each subject at the prom, graduation and then in sweet on-camera farewells.
