Critical Acclaim

A powerful political subtext...[A] conceptual art piece about confinement, attached to a dual biography of the artist and the prisoner. [Herman] Wallace...grounds this eccentric, often poignant film in an attitude of common sense and stoicism.

— Stephen Holden, The New York Times
