"A story as inspiring as it is painful...
The Flute Player is a chronicle of an extraordinary response to extraordinary violence and injustice, and an astonishing promise of renewal in a war-torn world."
- Polo, Asian American Press
|
|
|
"An exemplary example of 'the other side of the story' made me want to rush
out, rent a van, and go on a road trip to
all high schools and colleges across the U.S. in order to get the message out."
- Jacque Lynn Schiller, The Independent
|
|
|
"Jocelyn Glatzer has created an emotional document of the fortitude of the human soul, and the power of music to transform lives."
- Cathy Ross, SXSW
|
|
|
"A complex and moving film, it reveals the history and tradition lost to Arn's generation and the search for healing and forgiveness in a country wounded by war."
- San Francisco Station
|
|
|
“An extraordinary documentary…”
- El Diario, La Prensa
|
|
|
"Highly recommended... wrenching.
- Chicago Reader
|
|
|
“A brilliant study of a survivor of Cambodia's killing fields.”
- Jim Bawden, Toronto Star
|
|
|
"One might expect a film about a genocide survivor to be depressing.
But this poignant documentary has a liberating effect as a musician helps to
save the indigenous music of Cambodia, nearly wiped out by the Khmer Rouge.”
- M.S. Mason & S. Broadhurst,
The Christian Science Monitor
|
|
|
"The Flute Player, director Jocelyn Glatzer's moving documentary, humanizes the tragedy of the Cambodian genocide by introducing viewers to Arn Chorn Pond...
The film feels like a Cambodian Buena Vista Social Club…
a powerful reminder of the resiliency of the human spirit."
- Merle Bertrand, Film Threat
|
|
|
"A remarkable installment of P.O.V.”
- John Leonard,
New York Magazine
