(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 95% Fresh Page   1   "An emotional roller-coaster of a movie, one that touches your heart and brings you to tears in some scenes, then enrages you in others."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A- "This film will knock you flat, extracting a range of emotions from the viewer with superb skill and fervor."   DVDTalk.com   Brian Orndorf 4/5 "a documentary of wrenching pathos"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti 8/10 "This is a North American tragedy not of epic proportion, but of a deeply personal one."   DVDTown.com   Christopher Long A "A searing heartfelt tale."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz A "It is almost indescribably painful, yet just as powerfully inspiring, a mix of good and evil and victories and setbacks that are sure to move even jaded viewers."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/4 "Dear Zachary is not just Oscar-worthy material, but Oscar-requisite. If the Academy's documentary branch can't find a way to nominate this film (and then promptly reward it) then there's more than one corruption of justice that needs to be investigated."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3/4 "Long after the credits roll one will be rendered both empty and lifted by a bewildered family's sudden forbidden journey into the abyss of emotional darkness."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng 3/5 "In an era surfeited with cheaply produced DV-and-iMovie documentaries, Dear Zachary stands out as the work of a true filmmaker."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 9/10 "After it's through, a lot will have been said about friendship, injustice, and both faith in and letdown from the legal system, along with the intriguing thought that moral fortitude provides both its own punishments and rewards."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "One hell of a heart-wrenchingly sad, blisteringly angry, profoundly heartfelt movie that dares you to walk away with a shrug and a glib quip."   Miss FlickChick   Maitland McDonagh 4/4 "A powerful home movie about real-world evil and good"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 4/4 "Raw, powerful, haunting, and unforgettable."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan A- "A manipulative, tearjerking thriller that, functioning as a sustained, anguished primal scream, is as emotionally devastating as any film, fiction or non-, released this year."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 5/5 "This is one of the most emotionally transparent films ever made, and its gallery of heroes and villains trumps most of what you'll see in a multiplex this year."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3.5/4 "The most ambitious work of its kind."   Slant Magazine   Rob Humanick A "One of the best films of 2008."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 5/10 "A documentary that never should have been made, this film is maudlin tabloid journalism thrown onto the screen. All we get in the end is a cry for revenge."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "The most emotionally powerful film of 2008... as deeply personal as any film you will ever see."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 95% Fresh Page   1
