“When the credits ended and the house lights came on the audience sat in stunned silence. After a few seconds, there was a scattered applause, which grew into to a thunderous roar. Kings Park is an extraordinarily powerful film – or three films – superbly tiered with each poignant and insightful.” Stuart Nussbaumer, Filmmaker Magazine
“A tour de force. I have not seen anything as well made, as sensitive, nor as thoughtful. It is beautiful cinematically and in terms of its emotional tone…a real masterpiece of personal storytelling and documentary film making.” Howard H. Goldman, MD Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine
“KINGS PARK is a brilliant exploration of the life and death of the state mental hospital. Lucy Winer treats a difficult subject with sensitivity, grace, and compassion.” Nancy Tomes, Professor, Department of History, Stony Brook University, Author of The Art of Asylum-Keeping
