Serena Donadoni The Cinema Girl There are no dramatic catharses or death-bed confessions in Prison Terminal. Edgar Barens simply documents Jack Hall's final weeks with a quiet dignity. Rated: 5/5 Feb 15, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Moving. Reminds you that there are good people out there. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely agree with the oscars nomination! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Powerful, very intimate, supreme cyan autograph by a small crew. My example of excellent film making. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I just saw this remarkable and touching doc last night. It is an intimate and insightful look into 'midwifing our fellow man to the next world.' That it takes place where it does (a penitentiary) with hospice workers being volunteers, who are prison lifers themselves, gives it a compelling creedence that will hold you through the film and resinate after. As a war veteran myself I was intrigued to learn that Jack Hall had tremendous WW2 record. Three campaigns and he was a POW as well. He was imprisoned because he killed the drug dealer who contributed to his teenage son's suicide. PTSD is not mentioned, but it often is not with these stories. Anyway, it's an unprecedented and redemptive journey laced with the feel of a love letter. Brian Delate Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Could be another episode of the excellent Time of Death television series. A more intimate film you won't see this or most any other year. CDW Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
