Shadow and Act Staff Shadow and Act In depth looks at complex histories... Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader This is a compelling history lesson, though it often looks like a PowerPoint presentation. Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune In terms of technique Ramses' documentary indulges in some pretty cheesy tactics - freeze-frames, monologue-length accounts when abridged versions of the same information would suffice, a naggingly repetitive musical score. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 13, 2014 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews Through sometimes repeated archival footage and stills, Egyptian Jewry's first-half-of-the-last-century's Golden Age is imaged, in business, finance, industry, culture and politics. Apr 6, 2014 Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International Though it has its interesting sections, this stilted documentary is more suited to a museum archive than a theatrical venue. Mar 26, 2014 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News A priceless history lesson for anyone interested in understanding the back story explaining how formerly-tolerant Egypt evolved into the religious state it is today. Rated: 4/4 Mar 23, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
