Through the lens of legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog, Theater of Thought takes audiences on a provocative journey into the study of the mind and consciousness, daring us to question whether we truly have autonomy over our thoughts, or if our brains will inevitably become infused with mind-controlling technology in the not so distant future. Gathering insight and predictions from some of the world's most influential scientists and innovators, Theater of Thought is an exploration of the ethical, and existential, effects that neurotechnology presents in our rapidly advancing world.

Todd McCarthy Deadline Hollywood Daily This is decidedly a talking-heads sort of film, but the talk and the heads are worth listening to and beholding. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Jason Bailey The Playlist An inquisitive and complex exercise, with individual moments of insight and fascination. Rated: C Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap A movie about exploring the mind – and if the mind we’re exploring most of the time is Herzog’s, well, there are far worse tour guides through this territory. Sep 5, 2022 Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider In the hands of Herzog, this topic becomes far more entertaining, as he approaches the topic with a wide-eyed wonder that lets this subject go down smooth. Rated: B- Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest “Theatre of Thought” brings ideas together that are bound to get neurons firing. Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
