“At times, what could be powerful and poignant comes across as gimmicky and manipulative. In the ‘what do you fear?’ section especially the film begins to preach, to distort the meaning of images in their juxtaposition with others. An anthemic score changes the weight of a scene and gives it undue gravitas, overstating its case. However, this portion of the film is a rare misstep and the editing is consistently motivated and often moving.”
