  • Bhalla builds a damning picture of what's happening to Wallace. But he avoids pure rant ...

    Farran Smith Nehme

    New York Post

  • Although this documentary has a powerful political subtext, it is best described as a conceptual art piece about confinement, attached to a dual biography of the artist and the prisoner.

    April 18, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5

    Stephen Holden

    New York Times

  • The contrasting demeanors of its two main characters give Herman's House its spark, but the movie has some pungent moments without them.

    Mark Jenkins

    NPR

  • This moving but sketchy documentary fails to explore its provocative issues in fully satisfying fashion.

  • It's an absorbing, prickly tale, which Bhalla doesn't tell as coherently as he could have-oddly fitting, considering this is a story about frustrated ambitions and unfulfilled potential.

    Time Out

  • Against the prospect of unhappy endings, the human spirit still strives.
