      Wes Greene Slant Magazine Alison O’Daniel uses the real-life tuba thefts as a springboard to explore, and in artistically fertile ways, how the removal of an integral part of a structure affects the larger whole. Rated: 3/4 Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Josh Flanders Chicago Reader The Tuba Thieves, by Alison O’Daniel, is a groundbreaking work of art, a wonderfully different, beautiful film that showcases creative captioning and visual and audio poetry. Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Vox Blending fiction and nonfiction, O’Daniel’s film evokes life for both the deaf and the hearing during the years of the disappearances... reminding the viewer of the vitality of sound and silence, of absence and lack. Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) A very unique aural and visual experience Apr 21, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The Tuba Thieves has a misleading title and tries too hard to be an avant-garde documentary about deaf people. It's really a pretentious, disjointed, and tedious film that wants to fool people into thinking that it's got something important to say. Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive [The Tuba Thieves is] an ode to music, life, and Los Angeles that must be heard to be understood. Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
