The terra incognita beneath the installations ensure much of what we see is a revelation. Despite the short running time, there's much to see here.

Crump's film documents this historical artistic movement, while also raising greater questions about the nature of art itself.

Total Film

Using archival interviews to show how enviro-concerns and oppositional thinking drove them, Crump sometimes moves too briskly, but the awe-inspiring imagery speaks volumes: this big-thinking art demands big-screen respect.

Aine O'Connor

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

It's respectful and interesting, gives a good sense of the genesis of the movement, some of the key figures in it, and the art itself. But it is a niche market, mainly for art enthusiasts.
