It's powerful stuff: raw, introspective, and vulnerable. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 07/08/2020
Maggie Gyllenhaal's piece is one of the best and truly odd... The other standouts, which give a visceral sense of COVID-19's impact, are a drone journey made by Ladj Ly and Ana Lily Amirpour's segment, narrated by Cate Blanchett. Go to Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times 07/03/2020
4/5
Individually, a creative parlour game. For movies at large, a chance to capture the collective psyche, turning out time capsules of what 2020 looked and felt like. Go to Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 08/06/2020

03/03/2021 Unbelievably boring! Even though most of these shorts are under 10 minutes long, I found myself fast forwarding through a lot of them. It felt that each of these 'acclaimed filmmakers' just turned their camera on for 10 minutes without putting any thought into it, at least that what it seemed like to me. See more 07/19/2020 All the films are great, especially the film Crickets by the talented actress Kristen Stewart 14 See more 07/02/2020 The show was 50/50. The short film Casino by Sebastian Schipper had to be my favorite of them all, with Crickets by Kristen Stewart being my least favorite. An okay way to pass the time, but I wouldn't recommend it.
