New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottMay 4, 2017
A very human story and a very well-told one -- which, in the end, makes it very hard to forget. Read full review

VarietyJessica KiangMar 31, 2017
The film gradually thaws out the stark, frozen mystery at its heart, but the warm-blooded, breathing truth of Linda’s life is no less tragic than that of her cold death. Read full review

The New York TimesAndy WebsterMar 30, 2017
This documentary, coupled with Ms. Aviv’s article, addresses unresolved issues of personal autonomy versus a patient’s inability to protect herself. It will haunt you. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMar 27, 2017
The Widers apply great artistic ambition to a story few would handle in this manner, resulting in a haunting film. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoMay 10, 2017
A dead woman tells her own harrowing story in the documentary God Knows Where I Am. It’s the kind of movie you need to be prepared for — its most intense moments have echoes of tragic literature. Read full review

This documentary is a lyrical exploration of both a person and the place she died in, as well as a devastating commentary on American society’s approach to mental health. Read full review

Though the film excels at subjectivity and interiority, it tends to falter in conveying more rudimentary information. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenApr 19, 2017
It results in very little fresh insight that might allow us to feel that Linda Bishop didn’t die in vain. Read full review

The effort is noble, to give Bishop a chance to tell her story, however compromised its framing and end product might be, but it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Read full review

Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlMar 29, 2017
The Widers opt for much footage of the still-empty house itself, inside and out, shot by gently gliding cameras. This conveys an appropriate lonely stillness, a sense of a soul wandering a static world, especially in early scenes, but by the end the footage seems repetitious – yes, we’ve nosed around this sad doorway before.
