Reviews

“A Doll’s House still has the force of social truth and the force of art.”
-The New York Times

“…if you’ve been lucky enough to see the work of Lee Breuer over the years… you know that he’s a wizard-director, an alchemist who blends ideas, genres, styles, texts and technologies to make new kinds of theater…[in Dollhouse] Mr. Breuer gives us a passionate allegory that works - and plays - on many levels”
-The New York Times

"The film juxtaposes footage ....with discussions of “soul force,” defined as the spiritually-motivated, nonviolent forms of resistance associated with Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., among others. A solid discussion starter, Fierce Light is recommended."
-Video Librarian September/October 2009

"...The Gates makes clear that a lot of folk found Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Central Park enterprise both beautiful and moving. Recommended.
-Video Librarian September/October 2009

"Narcissistic or not, the breakthroughs experienced by some of the participants seem real enough, although Morgan neglects to disclose how much individuals paid for the privilege. The Workshop is recommended for academic human sexuality studies."
