Review For Movie Herman's House
Bhalla builds a damning picture of what's happening to Wallace. But he avoids pure rant ...Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Although this documentary has a powerful political subtext, it is best described as a conceptual art piece about confinement, attached to a dual biography of the artist and the prisoner.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
The contrasting demeanors of its two main characters give Herman's House its spark, but the movie has some pungent moments without them.
Mark Jenkins-NPR
This moving but sketchy documentary fails to explore its provocative issues in fully satisfying fashion.
Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter
It's an absorbing, prickly tale, which Bhalla doesn't tell as coherently as he could have-oddly fitting, considering this is a story about frustrated ambitions and unfulfilled potential.
Jenna Scherer-Time Out New York
Against the prospect of unhappy endings, the human spirit still strives.
Zachary Wigon-Village Voice
A very poignant doc that celebrates the genuine virtues of compassion, friendship.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Reminiscent in some ways of the Damien Nichols story but more about a father-daughter relationship. It also shows what a gifted conceptual artist can do, making the Whitney Biennial look like a bit of a joke.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
A compelling and enlightening documentary about the important role creativity can play in the pursuit of justice and the spread of compassion.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
An involving documentary that doesn't offer a convincing argument against solitary confinement for those who may not fully realize what's objectionable about it.
Kalvin Henely-Slant Magazine
Herman's House shows off the talents of several young principal crew members, and that of the director who makes his documentary feature debut, but it lacks the gravitas of human-rights filmmaking.
Maria Garcia-Film Journal International
A fascinating biopic as much about a possible miscarriage of justice as about a case of arrested development who looks like a little girl playing house with an imaginary mate.
Kam Williams-AALBC.com
What drives the film is artist Jackie Sumell's relationship with [Angola 3 member Herman] Wallace.
