      Dave Kehr New York Times Mr. Harris's stylistic gifts are quite evident; his reportorial instincts are a bit more muffled. Rated: 2/5 May 23, 2003 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post As enlightening for viewers as the journey was for Harris. Rated: 3/4 May 23, 2003 Full Review Dennis Lim Village Voice The movie might test your tolerance for the mystical, but its whispery vagueness is of a piece with the luxuriantly grainy atmospherics. May 20, 2003 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Ron Wells Film Threat While much of the film is fascinating, many stretches feel like you're just watching somebody's home movies (which you are), with too much camera movement and lack of concentration. Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
