THE GREAT BASIN is a documentary feature that builds a complex panorama of rural Nevada through a tapestry of characters who work, live, and play there. The Great Basin is the location of the "Loneliest Road in America" and the film invites viewers on a road of discovery of what looks like an arid desert landscape and turns out to be so much more.

The Hollywood Reporter

More than an overarching argument, DeVinck’s film is a collection of vivid postcards.

With a patient camera, DeVinck lets defining aspects of individuals and the collective emerge on their own as he casts an empathetic eye toward people who occupy just one of the American landscape’s many expanses.

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

This is not a complicated, glossy documentary, but it will exist as a fascinating historical document when this way of life no longer exists.

Rated: 7.5/10

DeVinck is much more concerned by anthropology than geology, with the notable exception of water...The documentary is connected to the past and the future, but never at the expense of capturing the present on video.

It’s a fascinating watch and Yoshio Kitagawa’s cinematography picks out the beauty of the natural environment.
