Dilys Powell Sunday Times (UK) 03/20/2020
Othon [is] a typically unemotional Jean-Marie Straub reading of Corneille's play, done in colour against a Roman setting. Static, but somehow it isn't boring, and the moral tone is high. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/13/2016 More preaching to the choir documentaries trying to educate the people that least need it. There is nothing new in this movie that anyone with some modicum of appreciation for what's going on has not seen already. These documentaries should be playing on a loop in TV's during the RNC, not indie theaters in Seattle. If you remove yourself from this, the movie is well made, depressing and at the same time hopeful. Certainly a movie everyone should watch but why bother, the Kardashians are on.
