"In addition to being filled with as many twists and turns as a first-rate suspense thriller, 'Dawson City' is packed with near-metaphysical intimations, both awe-inspiring and humbling... an instantaneously recognizable masterpiece"
Glenn Kenny, New York Times

"The true magic that 'Dawson City' captures is, simply, the mystery of film itself: a medium that turned people into shadows that burned brighter than life" Variety

"A bona fide adventure through history, hopscotching across the turn of the 19th century... the density of Morrison’s detail and the twists in his long-game storytelling make for a constant titillating simmer of discovery, a secret history round every corner" Nic Rapold, Film Comment

"The thrilling documentary 'Dawson City: Frozen Time' is indescribable not because it's ambiguous (it's totally straightforward) but because it does so many things so beautifully it is hard to know where to begin"
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"This beautiful ambient documentary from experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison... is astonishing to behold [...] It actually doesn't feel quite right to call this a documentary, as the rough-hewn beauty of the images, set to a fittingly lugubrious score make this feel like a lucid dream writ large."
David Jenkins, Little White Lies

"This a celebration of preservation and the rediscovery of images long presumed lost... Morrison sculpts the footage into a poetic portrait of a place as it endures the ravages of time while being equally seduced by the remarkable tale of the film reels and their subterranean survival."
Ben Nicholson, MUBI
