Leave your thoughts about Tower.
| The ListMatthew TurnerThis is a remarkable and profoundly moving film with a desperately important message - for those reasons and more it demands to be seen. |
| Your Movies (cleveland.com)John UrbancichKeith Maitland's use of real footage and animated characters, who turn into the real survivors of a troubled ex-Marine's barrage from the top of a University of Texas landmark, is as riveting as it gets. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseStrikingly elegiac, it recreates a time and place that can never be lived again on many levels, and does so with sensitivity and compassion. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesDespite the grim topic, Tower offers moments of genuine hope in the acts of bravery and kindness that took place during the siege. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperKeith Maitland’s Tower is a stunningly powerful and gripping documentary. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonKeith Maitland’s powerful and emotional documentary Tower — easily one of the best films of the year — takes a novel approach for a nonfiction film: Animation. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovDirector Keith Maitland’s film is one of the finest documentaries ever made, and it’s also one of the most unusual. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinI love when non-fiction filmmakers stretch the form and attempt, with as much honesty as they can muster, to put us in the middle of the events they describe. They give us stunning hybrids like "Waltz With Bashir," "Persepolis," and, now, Tower. |
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriThrough the recollections of witnesses and victims, the film simultaneously builds a present-tense narrative while portraying the terrifying resilience of memory and trauma. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe animation, by Craig Staggs, has a notable imaginative specificity, and the meticulously complex interweaving of styles turns the film into a horrifying true-crime thriller that’s enriched by a rare depth of inner experience. |
