Critic Reviews

As a one-time suburbanite now living happily in Manhattan, I can attest that Radiant City tells it like it is. The film ends with a surprise that you won't see coming and I won't spoil.Full Review

V.A. Musetto
New York Post

Jim Brown and Gary Burns hang a powerful antisuburban diatribe in the form of statistics, expert opinions and pictures worth a thousand words on the experiences of the Moss family.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide

Enlightening and disturbingly funny.Full Review

Village Voice

In the end, helmers have some nifty tricks up their verite sleeves.Full Review

Ken Eisner
Variety

The cinematographer Patrick McLaughlin's eerie, sometimes monumental images italicize the experts' statements, making the suburbs seem like an asphalt-and-Sheetrock dreamscape where democracy goes to die.Full Review
