Film Journal International
Those Wall Street occupiers could learn something from this superbly informative and moving documentary about a movement that really got the job done.
A documentary that could have been a lot angrier but aims to educate rather than agitate.
Crucially, the variety of interviewees in Hubbard's doc-men and women of different races and classes-underscores just how diverse ACT UP was in its heyday.
Times-Picayune
This story deserves more than a merely functional telling, which is really all it manages here.
