In his feature directorial debut, acclaimed author, visual artist, and filmmaker Antonino D'Ambrosio has fashioned a lively social history that chronicles how a generation of artists, thinkers, and activists used their creativity-and their creations-as a response to the reactionary politics that came to define our culture in the 1980s. An exuberant, mixed media collage that incorporates graphic art, music, animation, and spoken word, the film spans three decades of change--from the cynical heyday of Reagan and Thatcher through today-- and brings together over 50 writers, playwrights, painters, poets, skateboarders, dancers, musicians, and rights advocates, all of whom attest to the fact that we can re-imagine the world we live in and take an active role in making that vision a reality.
Leave your thoughts about Let Fury Have the Hour.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinKudos to writer-director Antonino D'Ambrosio for taking such an eclectic and disparate number of aims, thoughts, subjects and mediums and creating the smart and inspiring - and uniquely whole -documentary that is Let Fury Have the Hour. |

| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe film is one-sided and at times unfocused, but it makes a lot of sense politically. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisInfinitely less than the sum of its parts, Antonino D'Ambrosio's Let Fury Have the Hour crams 50 thoughtful artists into a disappointingly muddled film. |
| Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaOn a political level, the film is far from a Godardian dialectic, so the view of history that emerges is, to say the least, blinkered. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoIf passion were all that mattered, "Let Fury Have the Hour" might be the film of the year. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe result is undoubtedly impassioned. But it's also so blinkered and self-congratulatory that it feels like an undergraduate thesis project. Even if you relate to the cause, you may find yourself frustrated by the effort. |
