Peter Debruge Variety "The Neutral Ground" neatly balances wry bemusement with a more sobering history of Louisiana and the South than many locals get in school. Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Cory Woodroof The Playlist A more just future depends on a careful, methodical dismantling of false history and restoration of unfettered truth. The Neutral Ground captures the importance of that fight as well as anything thats come out in recent memory. Rated: A Feb 10, 2022 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots This documentary has a small screen ambiance with out of place humor that sometimes lessens the gravity of the issues at hand, but it's an important, compelling topic for a feature film that's been well-researched here. Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Jennifer Heaton Alternative Lens The Daily Show writer/producer CJ Hunt hosts and directs this amusing but informative and often shocking discussion of the history of Confederate monuments. Rated: 8/10 Oct 16, 2021 Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth Filmmaker-subject CJ Hunt cuts to the heart of a pressing social issue with devastating irreverence in this nimble, lightning-paced 82-minute documentary. Rated: 4/5 Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia By focusing on one issue he opens up a can of worms around racism, conspiracy theories and populism in the US.
