Critical reception

Todd McCarthy from Variety wrote "The supreme iconoclast among 20th century American journalists, George Seldes , receives a well-earned, enthusiastic tribute in this useful documentary, even if the portrait feels somewhat incomplete. Currently on the fest and benefit circuit, pic is viable for short theatrical stints in situations open to political, historical and, tangentially, Jewish-themed fare, but will have a much longer life on public TV, cable and video."[2]

gollark: I think you can *technically* emulate those on classical computers, but very slowly.
gollark: Also pain toggles and metadata and not just "something hurts now, good luck working out why and also you can't stop it".
gollark: You would probably need more than just brain-level tweaks for that, to provide the data in the first place.
gollark: If you did have a top-down-designed body/brain system, you could have useful features like an immune system which actually provides debug information instead of just mysteriously having you get a fever.
gollark: This reminds me of a paper I vaguely looked at a while ago about abusing human visual processing to do logic gates.
