Critic Reviews
-
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
Imaginary Witness is powerful and complex, and few will manage to make it through to the end without gasping, weeping or covering their eyes.
-
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Daniel Anker's film faults Hollywood both for ignoring the Holocaust during the war years and for trivializing it later. It's a mixed message that coheres largely thanks to Anker's archival spadework and his luck in securing interviews.
-
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
Anker's excavated some remarkable stuff here...
-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Deserves merit for detailing a painful subject with maturity and intelligence
-
Nora Lee Mandel, Film-Forward.com
Noteworthy for clips from less familiar films and newsreels, and interviews with creative participants in groundbreaking films.
