Storm Lake Ratings & Reviews
Film-Forward.com
Phil Guie
In some of the most telling moments, we observe the trust between the paper and its readership, even among those with differing political opinions who nevertheless rely on it to keep up on whats happening in the community.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
Storm Lake is an understated but urgent paean to old-fashioned local journalism as vital to the lifeblood of the communities it serves.
Shuffle Online
Ricardo Gallegos
A pleasant documentary that focuses on the power of journalism to create change.
Broad Street Review
Stephen Silver
Not much of what Storm Lake has to stay about the plight of newspapers is particularly new at this point, but Art Cullen proves a fantastic documentary protagonist
Midwest Film Journal
Evan Dossey
Touching documentary about the importance of a dying profession.
The Film Yap

Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Perhaps the apocalypse is not quite nigh. Read on!
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
A vital celebration of the role of community-based news gathering at a time when media revenues are way down and the credibility of the press has taken a hammering across much of the country.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A rousing salute to local newspapers as the glue holding communities together.
The Curvy Film Critic
Carla Renata
Art Cullen reminds audiences how vital the importance is of keeping local journalism alive one paper at a time.
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
Last year was traumatic for everyone, and your desire to watch this film may dovetail with your willingness to relive the early part of an uncertain, nerve-wracking period.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
A galvanizing depiction of what is gained from having strong community coverage that happens to double as a lovely portrait of a charming family business.
Film Threat
Liam Trump
Storm Lake shows how much the Storm Lake Times and, by extension, its staff care about the well-being and overall representation of the community they're a part of.

When a film resorts to postscript textual notes to reframe the material, that can be a sign that the film proper never quite came together in the editing room.
