Movie Reviews

Movie Mezzanine - 9/10 by Dan SchindelA haunting, masterfully made, and achingly melancholy portrait of the end of life.
The Dissolve - 8/10 by Noel MurrayFirst Cousin Once Removed doesn’t come across as overly demeaning or exploitative, because Berliner himself is so kind to Honig in their meetings. But it’s hard to deny that Berliner is using Honig’s deteriorating condition as fodder for his art, just as it’s hard to deny that Berliner’s willingness to risk that criticism is what makes First Cousin Once Removed such a great film.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatOne of the best documentaries ever made on Alzheimer's which has been called the disease of the century.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranHeartbreaking, haunting and unexpectedly heartening, First Cousin Once Removed is an uncommonly moving documentary portrait of a mind in disarray.
New York Times - 8/10 by Nicolas RapoldMr. Berliner’s film bravely brings us to the edge of language and experience.
indieWire - 7/10 by Eric KohnFirst Cousin Once Removed benefits from the clarity provided by Honig's published poetry, which surfaces in voiceover narration and words on the screen, rendering the undulations of his life in sweeping abstractions.
Film School Rejects - 6/10 by Christopher CampbellIs capturing a portrait of an artist in mental and emotional decline fair? ... We will probably now remember Honig more for his Alzheimer's than for his healthy life's work.
User Review - 8/10 by Brent CPretty powerful documentary following the tragic descent of a writer/poet suffering from Alzheimer's. The day to day visits can be both fascinating and terrible to watch due to the swings in mood and behaviour of Honig.
