Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.
– Wesley Morris,

fresh:
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,

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,
28 Oct 2004
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.
