Ben Kenigsberg New York Times "Vanishing Pearls" is most illuminating when offering a historical perspective. Apr 17, 2014 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Though dizzyingly informative and diffuse at times, it's a well-shot portrait that's at its best when it eschews the facts for the folks. Apr 17, 2014 Full Review Ernest Hardy Village Voice A must-see documentary. Apr 16, 2014 Full Review Shannon M. Houston Paste Magazine The importance of a film like Vanishing Pearls is immeasurable. Rated: 7.8/10 Apr 24, 2014 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Powerfully shines a much-needed and -deserved spotlight on a generations-old culture on the verge of extinction. Rated: 3/4 Apr 23, 2014 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews The perfect answer to those disgusting BP commercials about how the Gulf Coast "is back" and the equally disgusting full-page NYT ads screaming about how BP is being extorted by lawyers.
