FILMMAKER MAGAZINE: David Cohen on Sundance film, "The American Dream & Other Fairy Tales"
"An extremely powerful, timely and important statement."
-THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"An entertaining, easy-to-digest film to explain the inequality hiding in plain sight...breaking down daunting ideas into simple language...Makes a powerful statement."
-VARIETY

"Deeply felt...the filmmakers' focus-shifting approach to telling this story is smart and effective but it's true power lies in the history lesson it eventually segues to, landing with a gut punch."
-THE WASHINGTON POST

"Mixing first-hand and personal accounts, archival footage and history, THE AMERICAN DREAM AND OTHER FAIRY TALES does a phenomenal job explaining the situation and demanding a solution. A take down of...corporate American greed and culture"
- FILM THREAT

"Sobering documentary...undeniably potent...gives what could have been a run-of-the-mill documentary additional dimension and spark."

"One of the most talked-about documentaries at this year’s Sundance Film Festival."
-THE WRAP

"The power of a piece like this was the unique lens through which it was told and the addressing of issues, values & lives in a way we found completely compelling... You are going to be moved by this film in much the same way that we were."
- TABITHA JACKSON - Director, 2022 Sundance Film Festival

"Our 25 Most Anticipated Documentaries of 2022"
