Owen Gleiberman Variety The movie, in its slightly academic way, is a meditation that heightens our perception. Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap We can, thanks to movies like this one, continue to bear witness. But we will never truly know the reality he tries so hard to unearth, and that remains our burden to hold. Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times Cognet’s forensic approach [insists] on memorializing these events in an important, physically specific way and, intentionally or not, queasily anticipates a world without any living eyewitnesses to these horrors. Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers [The director] puts us in the shoes of those who were caged in these complexes, and connects us to that period far more effectively than we could be by faded images and grim statistics in a superficial sketch found in a high school history textbook. Oct 26, 2023 Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe From Where We Stood is among the most pretentious and pointless documentaries I have ever seen, and this isn’t a designation I put upon the movie lightly. Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Dan Schindel Hyperallergic "From Where They Stood" makes a game attempt to grapple with the full weight of history that bears down on the most deceptively serene vistas.
