Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Ultimately more a curio than a bona fide buried treasure, the forward-thinking production... nevertheless serves as a valuable reminder that imagination and creativity needn't ever be limited by the going technology. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film It may not look polished... but it is brilliant in what it manages to achieve with the simple tools of the time. Rated: 4/5 Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Megan Williams Battle Royale With Cheese 'As The Earth Turns' is overall enjoyable. The digital restoration is an impressive piece of work and the new score adds to the visuals. Jun 15, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
