Robert Daniels 812filmreviews And while few would find pleasure in seeing Diana's art...Henenlotter brings to light what was a miscarriage of justice against Diana. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Katie Rife AV Club It's a fascinating case study of government overreach far grosser than the comics it claimed it was protecting people from, and one that should be more widely known. Rated: B Jul 24, 2018 Full Review John DeFore Hollywood Reporter Though its production is humble and its account full of images many won't want to see, the case represents crucial knowledge for Americans concerned with the boundaries of the First Amendment. Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Paul Freitag-Fey Daily Grindhouse Deftly meshes both the pop culture nature of the subject at trial with the 'crime'-based aspects of the trial itself to become a must-see for fans of comics or free speech. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Chuck Foster Film Threat Boiled Angels helps us wake up outside the "woke" bubble. Rated: 8/10 Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Adam Patterson Film Pulse Boiled Angels has a notably grungy, bargain-basement look, with cheap-looking effects work and inconsistent storytelling techniques. Rated: 5/10 Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
