It's filled with images of ordinary objects and situations that have been filmed in such surprising and revealing ways by Davenport that when you encounter them again in your own life, you will see them differently, and think of Davenport's work. Read full review

Film ThreatBenjamin FranzJan 29, 2022
Shot from the perspective of Reid’s wheelchair, I found I Didn’t See You There strongly involving.

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJan 29, 2022
Viewed on its own, it communicates much less than its maker seems to intend, hovering in a not-very-satisfying zone between advocacy doc, first-person impressionism, and (very) tentative essay film about the world’s tendency to view difference as freakishness. Read full review
