| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIf only a documentary like this one existed for every unfinished Welles film. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe late Welles obviously had nothing to do with this new project. But you can feel his ambitious, quixotic intentions lurking in there somewhere. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBecause Welles is arguably the most magnetic and mercurial of all American directors, the film would be interesting on any grounds, but it is also impressive because of the long raft sequence, shown here in an essentially complete state. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonIt's All True is an essential piece in the Welles puzzle. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenEven in its redundancy, it is nevertheless fascinating. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisIt is still a remarkable portrait of the fisherman's life, with its craft and dedication, and of people whose ravaged, hopeful faces speak to us across the years. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyThis documentary is a long, seductive footnote to a cinema legend. |
| FilmjourneyDoug Cummings...the film at once seems like a visually dynamic conflation of a Robert Flaherty film and a proto-neorealist fable comprised of photogenic locals and working class heroics. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostVisually spectacular documentary, one of Welles' sympathetic looks at countries around the world, their life and culture. |
| User ReviewRay KIncredible job detailing this lost film and bringing the footage to the screen.One of my favorite documentaries. |
