Toronto. A Time to Stir.

"The most vital movie I ended up seeing at this year's Toronto International Film Festival didn't have its first screening until the festival's final day and is, in the words of its own creator, not a movie at all but rather a piece of 'visual history,'" writes Scott Foundas in the Voice. "At more than four hours, it also isn't finished yet... But even in its current form, Paul Cronin's A Time to Stir strikes me as a major film about the American Left, its splintering and factionalizing, and its still-flickering embers.... Wherever it ends up, this is a film that demands to be seen."

For Ben Kenigsberg (Time Out Chicago), this "was one of the more compelling documentaries shown in Toronto."
