Press Quotes
If the political pressure to prosecute Grace's executives to the full extent of the law persists, it will be due in part to this deeply moving film. Many critics have praised the 'objectivity' of the filmmakers, but at its root is the recognition that LIBBY, MONTANA isn't a red-state or blue-state story. It is a story about American democracy and American capitalism, and the battle that must constantly be waged to keep the latter from consuming the former.
—San Antonio Current
Definitely deserves Oscar consideration.
—Illinois Times
Incisive and unrelenting.
—Mother Jones
Equal parts mystery, horror film, black comedy, corporate indictment and human tragedy LIBBY, MONTANA is expertly compiled and genuinely compassionate when addressing the people involved. The film pulsates with urgency and commitment, and manages splendidly without the abrasive finger-pointing and knee-jerk aggression that has marred reportage in our age of so-called reality television.

Emotionally powerful. Intense.
