"'Blue Heron' is a tender but devastating work that exists in the netherworld between documentary and fiction, allowing a filmmaker to get to a greater truth."
"'Faces of Death' is a clever, nastily-contemporary riff on the original, exploring the urge to rubberneck at gore and the pride in being unshaken by it."
