”The film’s boldest and most effective stylistic gamble is that Glazer never goes inside the gates of Auschwitz. Screams and bursts of gunfire echo faintly in the distance, almost but not quite out of earshot. We can barely hear dogs barking and commands being shrieked, all while the Höss family goes about their dull, daily routines.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 01/11/2024
”The role instead went to Walter Matthau, during that wonderful stretch of the 1970s when a man with a self-described ‘face like a catcher’s mitt’ could be a movie star. There aren’t many films in which you can imagine Matthau swapping places with Eastwood – though The Bridges Of Madison County would be a corker – but Charley Varrick is a surprisingly comfy fit.” – Crooked Marquee, 01/05/2024
“Shot in stunning 6K resolution 3D by cinematographer Franz Lustig, it’s simply jaw-dropping to look at, bringing us into the massive installations and cavernous workshops of artist Anselm Kiefer. The sharp texture of these images takes your breath away, the objects seeming to float in front of us in the auditorium. You’ve never seen anything like this.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 01/05/2024
”Full of oddball digressions and magic realist flights of fancy, the film has the loose, expansive nature of a neighborhood legend, like a rambling tall tale passed down and embellished from one generation to the next. Household Saints is a jewel from an era that was a treasure trove for American independent cinema, yet for the longest time you couldn’t see it anywhere.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 01/03/2024
