Patrick Gamble Little White Lies In his quietly subversive Covid-era documentary, Benning offers a wry, yet searching look at an America united not by its principles of opportunity and equality but by its limitations and failures. Feb 15, 2022 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience ...opens up a whole new way of looking at The United States of America as one filmmaker’s near five-decades-later revisionist look at his homeland. A lot has changed but the end product is still incredible. Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Jamie Dunn The Skinny Every shot, even the oil fields, factories and opencast mines, has a painterly beauty but this is not a flattering portrait. Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Joshua Minsoo Kim In Review Online Theres an impressiveness to the deceit he employs, and its a delight to see Benning deploy a longform gag, but most important is how it highlights the truth underlining the entire movie.
