Illusions of Control unfolds as a remarkable collection of micro-narratives meditating on the human will to persevere.
-Adrian Mack, Georgia Straight
Illusions of Control is a testament to […] resilience, even as it understands just how bad things really are.
-NNNN from Norm Wilner, NOW Magazine
This film questions why we are acting so complacent about protecting the only planet we have.
– Tiffy Thompson, She Does the City
An educational and informative work, Illusions of Control is no illusion when it comes to any world problems.
– Nick Wangersky, Hollywood North Magazine
Complex, sad and strangely beautiful.
– Susan G. Cole, Point of View Magazine
