Excerpt from review: It’s an indispensable message, aided by the fact that Ms. Gold manages to deliver it without ever appearing preachy or didactic. Thus, what emerges is a powerfully illuminating film that not only features a who’s who of Hollywood’s A-list [...] but also celebrates an art form with the power to shape the way that we as humans view both ourselves and those around us. bravenewhollywood/film-review-cinemability-directed-by-jenni-gold/ From the early days of silent films to present day, from Chaplin to X-Men, disability portrayals are ever changing. This dynamic documentary takes a detailed look at the evolution of “disability” in entertainment by going behind the scenes to interview Filmmakers, Studio Executives, Film Historians, and Celebrities, and by utilizing vivid clips from Hollywood’s most beloved motion pictures and television programs to focus attention on the powerful impact that entertainment and the media can have on society.
