[Be Natural] injects the similar sort of vigour and verve into her story that her own films would have elicited in audiences. It's a delight of a documentary and one that will, as its title suggests, reveal untold treasures to its audience. Jun 10, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

This film is packed with priceless old films and informative interviews. Alice's films were so ahead of her time in themes and technique that it boggles the mind why we didn't know her name until now. Green's research and presentation are impressive. Jun 7, 2019 | Full Review…

One of Green's masterstrokes is the way she structures her film like a great filmic treasure hunt. The truth, though, is that it itself is the treasure. May 25, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…
