Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Much of it is entrancing. But Wiseman's evident fondness for the minutiae of bureaucracy, and for people who make long comments at community meetings, won't be shared by everyone.

fresh:
At just over three hours, the nontraditional storytelling of "In Jackson Heights" is a challenge. Still, Wiseman's fly-on-the-wall conceit is immersive, even comforting.

fresh:
Wiseman's work takes on the moral density of a Dickens novel. It's smart enough to find the moments that show our civilization, as big and complex and troubled as it is, is still worth fighting for.

It may take a village to understand what's going on here, and maybe that's [Wiseman's] point.
