The actual stuff the film sees, however, is pretty interesting.

While it doesn’t quite cohere into a neat central thesis, the film did leave me with both the means and the inclination to do some further thinking on the subject.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2022

While the effort put into research for this documentary is commendable, ultimately the aestheticisation of the information dampens its impact.

All Light, Everywhere uncovers the limitations of trying to understand the natural order of the world and to predict the future behavior of complex systems.

As a freestanding work, All Light, Everywhere has got more problems than can be described here. But as a gift-bag of prompts for discussion, it's hard to beat.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2021

A thoughtful, if sometimes frustrating, meditation on the acts of "seeing" and "interpreting"...

| Jun 6, 2021

The only irony is that, for all of its formal convolutions, All Light, Everywhere ultimately succeeds in more conventional terms: that is, on the strength and specificity of its chosen material.

"All Light, Everywhere" examines how cameras have, from their 19th century beginnings, always been a tool of data mining, an instrument of measurement, a framer of a separate, pixelated world.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 5, 2021

If perception has its limitations, this deeply sobering, stimulating film suggests, that may be another way of saying that it is fundamentally limitless. There is so much - too much - to see here, and no end of vantages from which to see it.

Theo Anthony's film is a playful, enraging, free-associative cine-essay that both expands and eats itself alive as it proceeds.

Brilliant, vital criticism about American policing that also speaks to the limitless artistic potential of non-fiction filmmaking.

A brilliant and chilling study in watching the watchers.

This engrossing, troubling documentary questions the idea that what we take in through our eyes is, any practical sense, the truth of our surroundings

| Feb 3, 2021

For all its analytical focus and leaps into epistemological abstractions, "All Light, Everywhere" is a film of individual and immediate fascinations.

| Feb 2, 2021

A film about how unreliable film can be is a fascinating concept, and All, Light Everywhere is a rich achievement, brimming with ideas.

| Feb 1, 2021

No matter where it wanders, "All Light Everywhere" always makes it clear that cameras can kill us just as much as the guns that inspired them.
