“They say that those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and if The Most Dangerous Man In America proves anything, it’s that we’ve been stuck in a feedback loop for decades. It’s déjà vu all over again, except now neither the heroes nor the villains have any balls.” – Philadelphia Weekly, 03/31/2010

“Bong’s fourth feature is a slippery little number. Stubbornly refusing to let us get comfortable within any of the ever-shifting tones and red-herring plot strands, it’s a whodunit like no other—veering from social satire to family drama to absurdist comedy and back again. Oddly enough, it also feels a bit familiar.” – Philadelphia Weekly, 03/17/2010

“Malik’s cagey manipulations pay off with perversely crowd-pleasing efficiency. Yet A Prophet’s brilliant closing shot hints at something deeper, framing our hero in something like a parade of his newfound power and influence. But a telephoto lens gives the image an eerie compression, hinting at consequences lurking just over his shoulder.” – Philadelphia Weekly, 03/10/2010

“So, an Arab and a Jew team up to make a movie about life in the Middle East… I know it sounds like the set-up for one of my dad’s jokes, but this really is the story behind Ajami, a collaboration between co-writers and co-directors Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani, chronicling the countless ways sectarian strife creeps into and poisons everything.” – Philadelphia Weekly, 03/03/2010
