THE ETERNAL CITY PRESS:
"Shot in color but processed in crisp B&W -- thus recalling the glory days of Italian art cinema -- low-budget lark "The Eternal City" echoes classic '80s Amerindie quirks despite plentiful local color. Not since Jim Jarmusch's early heyday have pics this willfully slender rustled much theatrical interest. It should win fest-circuit friends while raising its principals' profiles."

SEPTEMBER 12TH
SEPTEMBER 12TH PRESS:
"Star Joe Iacovino gives a great performance as the bitter and conflicted Frank who struggles to decide how he felt about his sister. A more than worthy addition to the legacy of that tragedy, it's highly recommended."
- FILM THREAT
"Never maudlin or convoluted, September 12th develops an authentic air of both mystery and sorrow. [It's] perceptive...wise, understanding, honest, and compassionate."
- FLICKHEAD
"One of the first films to confront [9/11] may also turn out to be one of the best. There is a classic, almost mythic simplicity to the film's plot."
