Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Philosophically ripe but cinematically undercooked.
Fresh: Neither filtered through nor structured around another artist's work, and suffers from the lack of a unifying vision, its parts greater than the whole.
Fresh: An undeniably provocative head-trip, laced with the most spectacular lightning-storm footage I've ever seen.
Fresh: The film doesn't need a narrator, since the people whose accounts we hear speak so absorbingly. All talking heads should talk so articulately.
