      Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Directed by Hilla Medalia with exactly the right balance of musical theater and personal drama, After the Storm presents a touching affirmation of the healing power of right-brain stimulation. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 9, 2009 Full Review Aaron Cutler Slant Magazine The kids themselves drop in and out of the movie, their personal conflicts briefly raised and left unresolved, which is a shame, because the few bits of their home lives post-Katrina that we discover are intriguing. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 5, 2009 Full Review Michelle Orange Village Voice The class and cultural tension that exists between the well-intentioned city slickers and underprivileged kids is unavoidable, and director Hilla Medalia lets it settle evenly, refusing to judge. Sep 29, 2009 Full Review Fr. Chris Carpenter Orange County and Long Beach Blade One of the ten best films of 2009, and the best documentary. Rated: A- Dec 30, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
