Michael Clark Epoch Times Taylor’s employment of dramatic re-creation, although not frequent, adds little and sometimes works against the film’s otherwise streamline and efficient presentation. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Michelle T Not only did I learn alot about NYC's history starting in 1966, I really enjoyed seeing examples of how great American cities can be turned around and thrive once again. In a time where our urban centers are struggling, this film provides an excellent guide and blueprint to how they can succeed and be better than ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Michelle T Loved learning so much about NYCs history and how it changed so drastically in the 90s. Great lessons and very interesting stories about what it took to turn the city around. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
