Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle While the film may lack the conventional sociopolitical framework needed to locate it in the broader Australian experience, Newell and her subjects are a constant source of empathy and education. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 27, 2020 Full Review Teo Bugbee New York Times Colonialism is a war that began hundreds of years ago and never ended. Its modern tactics and its weapons are noted with precision in the ferocious documentary, "In My Blood It Runs." Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian In My Blood It Runs is Newell's best film yet. It feels like a turning point: the director's aesthetic choices reflecting the contents of her subject's character in different and exciting ways.

Oct 5, 2020 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience I feel like I can easily say it's one of the best documentaries this country has produced in recent years. A work of emphatic poignancy...

No T The message is good and the family interactions are nice, but the inability to focus the camera and the strange shots make it hard to enjoy. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
