Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinJan 25, 2013
Kudos to writer-director Antonino D'Ambrosio for taking such an eclectic and disparate number of aims, thoughts, subjects and mediums and creating the smart and inspiring - and uniquely whole -documentary that is Let Fury Have the Hour. Read full review

VarietyRonnie ScheibDec 12, 2012
A curiously warm-and-fuzzy hindsight interpretation of artistic aggression, delivered by the artists themselves. Read full review

Village VoiceChris PackhamDec 11, 2012
The film joyfully surveys the evolution of a politically informed artistic movement, set to a soundtrack that includes MC5, Rage Against the Machine, DJ Spooky, and others. Read full review

The result is undoubtedly impassioned. But it's also so blinkered and self-congratulatory that it feels like an undergraduate thesis project. Even if you relate to the cause, you may find yourself frustrated by the effort. Read full review

Time OutDavid FearDec 11, 2012
More of a massive back-patting for bleeding hearts than a comprehensive-or even semi-comprehensive-survey of DIY protest art, the film unintentionally makes the perfect valentine for the OWS version of radicalism: It's righteous, full of rage and cripplingly unfocused. Read full review
