“Nonfiction filmmaking at its most classic. Crime, punishment, morality and hardball politics make for an explosive narrative mix all their own.” - Ann Hornaday, THE WASHINGTON POST (critic’s pick)
"A wildly and broadly appealing documentary...a fundamental enigma...gorgeous, riveting. If there's an overriding theme to a film that puts science first, it is that science and advocacy are not friends." - John Pierson for THE NEW YORK TIMES
“[4/4 Stars.] Thought provoking; intriguing; compelling.” - Cary Darling, Miami Herald/Wire Review
"[4.5/5 stars, Top 10 Film of 2011] Mims and Bailey have turned the Willingham case into a gripping saga." - Charles Ealy, THE AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN
“Highly engaging. Convincing, meticulous...nimbly cut...It’s one thing to have a provocative idea, and quite another to turn that idea into a compelling film. Mims and Bailey succeed on both counts.” - Chris Vognar, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS (Critic’s Pick)
“Elegant, insistent.” - Cynthia Fuchs, POPMATTERS
"INCENDIARY achieves greatness as a deeper divide in the perspective of its characters is revealed." - Shannon Houston, PASTE
