Leave your thoughts about Convento.
| Dallas Morning NewsGary DowellAn unusual, lightly surreal and unorthodox documentary by Jarred Alterman, Convento takes an unconventional approach that accentuates its subjects and never exploits them. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonAlterman's camera languidly soaks up the landscape, lingering long enough so that we can appreciate both the beauty of the setting and the surprising dialogue created between it and Christiaan's artwork. |
| Wall Street JournalSteve DollarAgainst the sacred and time-tossed setting, the artist's creations cast an uncanny spell: Inanimate yet alive, abandoned as scrap or carrion, yet newly born. |
| IFC.comMatt SingerThis unortho-doc ultimately doesn't need to explain much more about its subjects' motivations because its images provide their own explanation. |
