Steve Dollar, The New York Sun

“…a serious splash at SXSW…[Modigliani is] one of the four next great Texas directors.” Christopher Kelly, Texas Monthly

“…an evenhanded and occasionally poignant account…populated with colorful, contrasting characters who have profoundly mixed feelings about being used as props in Bush's political stagecraft.” Joe Leydon, VARIETY

“CRAWFORD received standing ovations at South by Southwest.” Jeffrey Ressner, Politico.com

“Vital…Engaging…CRAWFORD has the potential to disrupt narratives and change the way people think.” Jake Gyllenhaal

“A touching, even-handed, and genuinely significant film.” Dan Nuxoll, Rooftopfilms.com
“….a fresh, unique perspective…entertaining and incredibly affecting…” Josh Tyler, Cinemablend

“The right mingles with the left, no one is declared a winner…a brilliant job…refreshing, and the ultimate compliment to director David Modigliani, to have such a politically charged environment delivered to the viewer with such an even hand.”
