International Critics Prize
San Sebastian Film Festival
"A moving portrayal of a Mojave Indian displaced in the skid row
section of downtown Los Angeles. Producer, director, writer Schwartz
elicits amazing performances from his cast." |
 |
"An impressive example of taut, resourceful, low-budget film-making...
with a sure sense of the cinematic, Schwartz captures Silver's guilt
and desperation." |
"...a finely acted, rare achievement for a first feature..."
--Linda Gross, L.A. Times
"A sharply etched tale of paranoia and guilt, sustained
brilliantly by the director and his ensemble cast..."
--Ruth Bachelor, L.A. Free Press
"A feast for lovers of black and white..."
--Charles Brodin, Berkeley Gazette
"...a well acted, finely crafted film. In MacArthur Park
is what good film-making is all about..."
--Ben Trevors, San Francisco Chronicle
