Leave your thoughts about Over the GW.
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA disturbing look at reprogramming that masquerades as rehabilitation. Having been forced to drink the Kool-Aid, Mr. Gaglia has produced a work that's as much an act of emesis as of filmmaking. |
| Slant MagazineRob HumanickOver the GW is appropriately troubling in its evocation of humanity's penchant for self-destruction. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoOne reason it rings true is because the script is based on Gaglia's real experiences. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghOverall, the performances are surprisingly convincing, but the mockumentary elements – feel out of place and the intrusive. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonToo narratively disjointed to achieve maximum impact, but too emotionally potent in fits and starts to be dismissed out of hand. Ultimately, Over the GW resembles nothing so much as a rough draft for a more conventional feature. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisGaglia's torture re-creations become rote quickly, and his cross-processed, color-tinted, randomly inserted, over-zoomed Film School 101 indulgences need their meds adjusted. |
| User ReviewRachelR.Superbly shot film, with a strong cast. George Gallaghe gives a moving performance. |
