Everything Will Be Ok

"There is something else looming over Rithy Panh’s disturbing dioramas: the shadow of Jean-Luc Godard. Panh is fascinated — as is Godard — by language and the ways in which it can be twisted or misread. At the same time, language is our great hope: during the burning of the world, we are told, “there will still be poetry.”"

"Rithy Panh's Everything Will Be OK gets back to Kubrick's monolith. If film can be a precise weapon, then his new film is an atomic bomb."

"A peculiar 21st century dystopia."

"You couldn’t really call Everything Will Be OK a documentary, at least as the term is usually understood, but it is absolutely rammed with information: you may be baffled, but rarely bored."
