Fresh
A slick account of ancient crevices in the human psyche rendered in cutting-edge cinematic style.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
Fresh
An undeniably shattering story, if forgivably shaky in its impassioned, therapeutic unfolding.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
Dear Zachary earns its right to engage us on a primal level, but it comes on the heels of so many films that don't, movies that...prey on modern fears and inflate third-rate material to the plane of tragedy.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
A four-handkerchief documentary if there ever was one.
