I have seen Barbara Albert's Free Radicals three times now and could surely watch it 10 times more, finding something else on each visit to salve the soul.

John Anderson, Newsday
Fresh

Brims with energy, carefully drawn characters and fine acting, and sad-eyed Deborah Ten Brink, as Manu's daughter, is a scene-stealer.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Fresh

Deftly intercutting between several tenuously-connected lives, Barbara Albert's astringent drama is transformed by bright flashes of compassion.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Fresh

An intelligent, viscerally intellectual exercise in ensemble acting and associative montage, enlivened with some terrific visual and dramatic ideas.

J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Rotten

At once too densely populated and too clinically detached.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
