| New York PostLou LumenickThe best evidence of this troubled man's genius is provided by ample samples of his music, much of which will be familiar to fans of Warner Bros. cartoons from the '30s and '40s. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferHonest, illuminating and compassionate. An extraordinary documentary. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenLike "My Architect," Nathaniel Kahn's film about his father, Louis I. Kahn, this documentary is a son's attempt to forge a posthumous bond with an elusive parent. |
| User ReviewLouis BTotally absorbing documentary about the multifaceted genius of Raymond Scott. Deconstructing Dad portrays a very personal account of this pivotal figure in American musical culture whose pioneering work as a band leader, music composer, and electronic instrument inventor, are nothing less than remarkable. My attention was riveted every moment throughout this superbly made documentary. Not to be missed! -- Louis B. |
