"Undeniably a magnum opus, but one that has been refined to the briskness of a novella."
"A gloriously nerdy act of municipal pride... A film about the importance of cultural history and truth... Movies aren’t usually a public benefit, must less an essential one. Here’s the exception."
This film is part of the Frederick Wiseman's America series.
