Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times It's a provocative, absorbing -- and at times dicey -- study. Rated: 3.5/5 May 16, 2013 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times You may not agree with every observation in Michael Singh's documentary "Valentino's Ghost." But this engrossing examination of American perceptions of Arabs and the Arab world gets you thinking. Rated: 5/5 May 16, 2013 Full Review Ernest Hardy Village Voice A crash course in history, politics, and social science, Valentino's Ghost is both sobering and illuminating, and its execution is thrilling.
