Boston Globe

One of the most staggeringly straightforward looks at death I've ever seen. The movie's grace note is its subtlety.

Rated: 3/4

In essence, the story of the indomitable nature of the human spirit, the resilience and commitment of a few to help the many and a triumph of hope in adversity.

Angels in the Dust is a troubling documentary for obvious reasons...but it's also a bit disturbing for reasons director Louise Hogarth may not have noticed.
