A documentary so affecting and effective it will make viewers feel grateful they are healthy enough to see it in a theater.

Vague Visages

The Sensitives is a gentle and affecting window into the isolated prison cell that becomes a sensitive person’s life.

The film is undoubtedly sympathetic, albeit with an overarching theme that human beings are adaptable, even under the most difficult of circumstances. Because of this, The Sensitives is ultimately uplifting.

In demonstrating the power of the mind, it's only fitting that it's a film that refuses to leave yours when it ends.

The Sensitives sees its skeptics coming and bulldozes forward.

Rated: 7.2/10

Xanthopoulos approaches the subject of being essentially allergic to modernity in a way that's refreshingly non-symbolic.
