Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Doesn't aim to win converts or preach to the converted. His goal is rather to clear through the rhetoric, and look at abortion and its place in the American political dialog.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jun 10, 2010

The film shows shocking footage of actual abortions in progress and the remains of aborted fetuses, as well as the appalling images of murdered abortion clinicians and the horrifying testimonies of pro-life fanatics who are convinced all abortionists shou

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 1, 2009

When the focus narrows to the personal, the film becomes undeniably powerful in its specifics.

| Oct 18, 2008

Lake's head-on confrontation of a problem most people simply wish to ignore is documentary cinema at its most raw and vital.

| Jul 30, 2008

As the U.S. elections media coverage becomes incessant, it's worth keeping in mind that actual listening to other "sides" can be enlightening.

| Jan 17, 2008

An intense, sometimes sickening, documentary about the abortion issue in the United States which reeks of brimstone.

| Original Score: B | Jan 16, 2008

The most striking footage is of an abortion; the next is of hateful and ignorant Americans

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 20, 2007

Demands we throw out our preconceived notions and face the issue without walls to protect us.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 14, 2007

Doesn't quite feel as definitive as the filmmaker intended, although I can't imagine how any film on the subject could get closer than this.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 12, 2007

definitive documentary on the subject that is so gripping that every thinking person will be forced to confront core issues

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 12, 2007

Hardly seemed like the "definitive" film about abortion as it thinks of itself.

| Original Score: C+ | Dec 10, 2007

You may not leave the theater having switched sides, but you'll probably respect the other side more, and that in itself would be a victory for human life.

For all its provocativeness, Lake of Fire is not a shapeless movie, nor a politically irresponsible one.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/6 | Nov 14, 2007

The astonishing feat of the documentary Lake of Fire is that it takes a topic about which everyone is always telling us what to think and manages to do justice to both sides. Or rather, all sides.

Most of the footage... is at least a decade old - and the saddest commentary is that the discussion hasn't budged an inch.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2007

Fascinating but unsettling.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 8, 2007

Lake of Fire doesn't tell you what to decide, it just gives you as much information as possible to make the choice yourself.

| Nov 8, 2007

Kaye shoots in black and white, a stark reminder of how there is no middle ground when it comes to abortion in America... and also, perhaps, a bit of a cushion against the authenticity of Kaye's harsh vision.
