Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"Nelson focuses on the stories of the prisoners, who paint a picture of the situation on the ground. They describe a sensory experience that includes nights spent in tents as rain turned their space into a muddy swamp..." - 09/09/2021 Hollywood Reporter


"ATTICA, Stanley Nelson’s stirring, scalding documentary about the 1971 Attica prison uprising, is an essential film that can now stand as a definitive vision of that epochal event." - 10/12/2021 Variety


"Stanley Nelson’s documentary ATTICA is a harrowing, infuriating look at racism and the abuse of power by people who see others as inhuman." - 10/29/2021 RogerEbert.com


"Nelson has a lot of incredible film and video to work with. But his primary assets are his interviews: dozens of voices, vividly describing how a moment of hope for the incarcerated ended in a violent denial of their humanity." - 10/25/2021 A.V. Club
