Critic Reviews

  • "Thirty years of gestation have produced a film of great beauty with unfulfilled promise — a disappointment, but with much to recommend and be glad about." Los Angeles Times

    - Kevin Crust

  • "While Dust tries to take a vague stand against intolerance, the story feels dated." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "A film that feels like it's from another time and place, Ask the Dust is John Fante's classic novel as if fixed in amber." Variety

    - Todd McCarthy
