A Necessary Death Ratings & Reviews
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
These are daring, challenging themes for a young filmmaker and Stamm proves to be adept at playing with ideas that scare away writer/directors with twice as much experience.
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
A Necessary Death presents a wholly original, fascinating and curiously terrifying documentary that's likely to either captivate or revolt audiences.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
'A Necessary Death' treats the topic of sucide in a disturbing yet creative way. This is a shocking, emotionally powerful film.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An experimental faux documentary on the unpleasant subject matter of suicide.
Big Hollywood
Christian Toto
A Necessary Death takes a hot button issue - suicide - and expands it to reveal the fuzzy line between art and morality.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A Necessary Death will make you squirm and think in equal measure. For my money, that makes it a picture worth paying attention to.
Filmcritic.com
David Thomas
a gripping tale that raises troubling questions about the nature of art and our voyeuristic society.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
A Necessary Death, despite its provocations, remains timid and dramatized, ultimately favoring plot machinations to considering the issue of suicide more deeply.
Cinematical
Erik Davis
As much as it doesn't seem like you're watching an intricate plot unfold, there's actually so much going on -- all of it layered; structured brilliantly.
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
Stamm is able to diminish our misgivings over its authenticity by mastering the "documentary of a documentary" style and satisfying the gravity of the drama through situations that have more truth to them than a lot of staged situations in non-fiction.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
A thoroughly engrossing little film that's also quite slyly entertaining, despite its rather unsavory subject matter.
