Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times This could be "Rent" for a new generation. The myriad social issues have been properly contextualized into a powerful big picture. May 14, 2015 Full Review Daniel M. Gold New York Times "Know How" is a robust, youthful call to be seen, heard and appreciated - to be a little less invisible. May 14, 2015 Full Review Simon Abrams Village Voice Despite a handful of immediately upsetting sequences, DIY hip-hop musical Know How never coheres into a cathartic fictional account of its creators' turbulent adolescence. May 12, 2015 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A remarkable and unforgettable achievement and a must see for anyone who cares about today's children and youth. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 13, 2020 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Unfortunately, the dramatization of these personal accounts often feels flat and uninspired, an earnest but clumsily rendered high-school project.
