New York Times

For all the talk from the founders about creativity and newness, nobody seems to notice that the artists occupying the space were for the most part coloring in the lines of thoroughly codified forms.

Village Voice

The footage relies more on idealistic testimonies than a cinematic experience showcasing DBA's vitality; why not let those blistering, immersive concert performances play longer than a chorus?

To the detriment of Goodnight Brooklyn, Conboy... shows more interest in the venue and the people behind it than in the art and social context that created the perfect environment for it to succeed.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

What makes Goodnight Brooklyn more interesting than most stories of its ilk, however, is the lethal irony at its core.
