"...astonishing and distinctive, Alli is one of the most original film artists of our time."
from the 4-star review of FLAMINGOS at filmtheat.com
"FLAMINGOS is thoroughly remarkable in the way it packs dense,
engaging layers
of
honest emotional and spiritual musings in an
extremely constricting framework.
Yet, through a well designed cinematography, Alli never lets the film
feel
confined or limited." --BadLit: Journal of Underground Films
