SELECTION OF OUR GREAT REVIEWS!

 

“Nina Menkes’ eye-opening documentary will forever change how you look at films.”

— INDIEWIRE, Kate Erbland

 

 

“Menkes is a real no-bullshit breath of fresh air. With a torch. And with any luck, she’s heading your way to set fire to something, soon.”

–SCREEN DAILY, Finn Halligan

 

 

“Accessible, engrossing, urgent, and horrifying…It should be shown at film festivals, in classrooms, in boardrooms; It should be projected onto a building and played on a loop in Studio City.”

— THE PLAYLIST, Lena Wilson

 

 

“Nina Menkes is going to change the world…Brainwashed is one of the most important films anyone can watch right now!”  

—JOEY SOLOWAY, Producer/Director/Writer

 

 

“Explosive [and] compelling…“[Menkes] pulls off the tricky balanceof making Brainwashed digestible and illuminating for the casual cinema-goer while being stimulating and paradigm shifting for fellow filmmakers and scholars of film.”

–THE QUEER REVIEW, James Kleinman

 

 

“Menkes gives a persuasive, sometimes nightmarish sense of the leering perspectives found across much visual media….What’s most important is how we can act on [the film’s] prescriptions—if it’s not too late.” 

—THE FILM STAGE, David Katz

 

 

“The disruption of traditional power that “Brainwashed” puts forward to the language of cinema is compelling and progressive; it presents a much needed challenge for all filmmakers to find truer ways to depict who we are as people.” 

—Isaac Chung, Director of MINARI

 

 

“Subversive!…Menkes is not afraid to take on the film canon, and the directors hailed as the gold standard.”

–FILM THREAT, Ray Lobo
