Boe's notion of cinema as a glamorous art is apparent, but his sense of narrative mystery tends to err on the side of pretentiousness.

Boe can be forgiven for occasionally bringing Reconstruction ... to the brink of pretension. It's his first full- length feature, and this is the mark of a novice. He makes up for it with a natural's gift for storytelling and eye for casting.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
This is Boe's first full-length film, but he already works the art form like a master. He proves he understands love lost and the hungry yearning burning inside love found.
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh
Like love itself, Reconstruction works on an irrational, off-kilter plane, filled with elation, regret and elusive second chances.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Fresh
It manages to engage you on the literal -- the immediate story, that is -- and the abstract.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
