Compensation Reviews
Variety
Joe Leydon
Imaginatively conceived but indifferently executed.
Boston Globe
John Koch
It rewards viewers with patience for artfully idiosyncratic filmmaking. If s daunting at first, but once you enter into filmmaker Zeinabu Irene Davis's rhythms and silences, its effects can be eye-opening.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Compensation is an important achievement, illuminating and captivating, and it deserves the chance to reach the widest audience possible.
Chicago Tribune
Achy Obejas
The handsome black and white film, which plays like a silent movie with its ambient soundtrack and ornate title cards, creates a complex and vivid, vintage Chicago using historical and family photos.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The stories involve prejudice and discrimination in multiple dimensions.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The storytelling is pointedly visual, modeled after the silent cinema, and the resulting purity of emotion elevates even the modern-day love story.
Moviefone
Marya E. Gates
A beautiful film about the power of communication and human connection.
