Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Perhaps that would be served better by a follow-up that can look more closely at Lambert's role as both gentrifier and gentrified: but, for now, Through the Plexi-Glass provides a view into overlooked lives that would make Studs Terkel proud. Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat The film addresses some weighty topics that are still relevant today. Rated: 7.5/10 Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth A fascinating time capsule of a bygone era, albeit one which mostly circumscribes crucial context - namely the filmmaker's own complicity in gentrifying Austin. Rated: 3/5 Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com At a mere 83 minutes, it doesn't really give them the kind of deep-dive treatment that they deserve. Mar 18, 2021 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The film uses the remarkable perspective of the time that's passed to show what leaves when the physical architecture that gives shape to communities disappears.
