Some first Reviews

- Mary Bond: Magnificent - a gift to us, to IPR’s legacy, and to the world.
- Eric Jacobsen: This film is a wonderful and monumental work. It contains a wealth of biographical detail that has never been presented as one coherent story before, including as it does Dr. Rolf's personal, professional and intellectual trajectories. It is a great service, and will stand as a key resource far into the future.
- Don Hanlon Johnson: An amazing work - I learned so much from it despite what I already knew directly from my times with her.
