Levit 3/4 "[An] affectingly insightful and well-informed documentary. Myths taps into a special kind of Southern tradition%u2014with underlying racial overtones as a societal hovering factor."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng 3/4 "Ostensibly about Mobile, Alabama's annual Mardi Gras tradition, which dates back to 1703, Margaret Brown's documentary is actually an examination of the racial divide in a city that claims there is none."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "Separate but equal is alive and well in America; see how it works at Mardi Gras in Mobile"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Less a vitriolic critique than a considerate, despairing depiction of the intractable sway exerted by long-held, unpleasant traditions."   Cinematical   Nick Schager 4.5/5 "Smartly edited, utterly engrossing, and as intelligent an examination of American race relations as I’ve seen."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar A "Reveals ceremonies that are exotic, unexpected, colorful and incredibly ritualized, layered with vast amounts of denial, submerged agendas and hypocrisy."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 7/10 "A good time is had by all even in light of public displays of racial segregation in the Mobile, Alabama's Mardi Gras celebration."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "Revolutionary advances have been made in racial equality, but in Mobile segregation - the most interpretable symptom of racism - has its last stronghold in Mardi Gras."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Rumsey Taylor  (1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1
