Terki avoids too much moralizing or even authoring, allowing his camera and presence to fade into the background of most scenes. November 23, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[Derki's poetic narration] serve to frame "Of Fathers and Sons" with the feeling that you're seeing a warped dream of family survival, one in which still-noticeable human bonds can't help but be corroded by isolating hatred and extremist ideology. November 21, 2018 | Full Review…

"Of Fathers and Sons" is ultimately more impressive for its access than it is revealing of drives or beliefs. If Derki's goal was to capture what causes ideology to spread, he and his camera look without seeing. November 15, 2018 | Full Review…

An admirably audacious feat of documentarian access, Of Fathers and Sons is of obvious topical and anthropological interest as a glimpse into the gradual radicalization of young males and the deep community ties which underpin the process. January 5, 2018 | Full Review…

Derki's not seeking to justify a political perspective. He leaves us to make up our own minds about whether terrorism everywhere is really, at its core, all the same. July 9, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

At its heart, this film perceptively asks us to hold our vitriol for a short while, and to see what the face of jihadist fundamentalism really looks like. February 17, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

While the ethics of Derki's decision to falsify himself to gain access to family can be debated, it all makes for a stunning work. January 23, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review…
