Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times "Braddock America" pierces the skin. Oct 30, 2014 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice The sad truths it illuminates have rarely been put onscreen with such clarity and power. Oct 28, 2014 Full Review Elise Nakhnikian Slant Magazine It's mercifully free of the ruin-porn shots that turn so many contemporary films about struggling cities into self-consciously arty exercises in the romanticization of decay. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 27, 2014 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews This documentary shows how Great Depression-like conditions have changed consciousness in a Pennsylvania town that in the past would have inspired a Norman Rockwell painting.
