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

Kevin Harley

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.

Rated: 4/5

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.
