Movie Reviews

New York Daily News - 10/10 by Joe NeumaierRarely has any film, fictional or documentary, captured the hypnotic effect of voices on the airwaves like this chronicle of Bob Fass.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoLong before Occupy Wall Street, there was Bob Fass, the legendary overnight host on WBAI whose 50-year career is lovingly saluted in the documentary Radio Unnameable.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Scott TobiasRadio Unnameable is at its best when it tries to find some visual analog to Fass' vibe, courtesy of cinematographer John Pirozzi, who takes beautiful snapshots of a sleepless city. It also, in the Fass way, does a little meandering.
Quickflix - 7/10 by Simon MiraudoPaul Lovelace and Jessica Wolfson's love letter to Bob and his legendary program, Radio Unnameable, rewrites the record and places the disc jockey in the pantheon beside his louder contemporaries.
WBAI Radio - 7/10 by Prairie MillerA richly conceived archival tribute to the very miracle of Radio Unnameable's survival despite it all. And a troubling irony as peripherally depicted in this documentary, with Fass often in furious battle to prevail on air. A Tale Of Two Radio Stations
Seattle Times - 7/10 by John HartlYou're overwhelmed by the feeling that you've seen this tale of corporate greed and arrogant mismanagement before. Still, the filmmakers tell it with gusto.
The New York Times - 7/10 by A.O. ScottThe charm of Radio Unnameable is, finally, elegiac. It can make you wish - or, if you're lucky, remember - that you were a sleepless New Yorker in 1967, kept from loneliness by a gentle, soulful voice on the radio.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Bill WeberWhile crediting free-form radio pioneer Bob Fass with changing the culture of broadcasting, this documentary remains clear-eyed about the decline of community radio and the New Left.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 6/10 by Louis ProyectGimlet-eyed view of a legendary pioneer of "free form" radio as well as a probing examination of the Balkanization of the left.
Film-Forward.com - 6/10 by Nora Lee MandelBeautifully sets up the feel and the times. . .with archival photographs and footage [but] distracts from. . .the intimate aural relationship between Fass and his audience.
