E. Nina Rothe May 2, 2024

And the film importantly holds proof that in order to understand our future, we must look at the past — the very distant, millions of years ago, dinosaurs and all, past!

Lynne and Ira Sachs

"This is not a portrait": Lynne Sachs' must watch 'Film About a Father Who' screens in NYC

E. Nina Rothe February 7, 2020

To me, Lynne Sachs’ ‘Film About a Father Who’ is simply a masterpiece. And quite clearly, Sachs is someone whose own issues with her father have turned her into a phenomenal woman — full of creativity and courage.

Letizia Battaglia

A Woman, armed with courage and her camera: 'Shooting the Mafia' by Kim Longinotto

E. Nina Rothe February 12, 2019
