Rating: 3.5/5 -- 16 Acres is a 9/11 documentary, but not that kind of 9/11 documentary [...] it explores the stew of hope, frustration, ambition, and PR spin-cycling involved in the decade-plus effort to rebuild what terrorists so quickly tore down. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- A vital and in certain ways even cathartic documentary. It's a story about ego and hubris, yes, but also the better angels of our nature. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- A documentary that features forthright interviews with major players and gives a good sense of the infighting and pettiness without getting bogged down in it. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- This interesting but undeniably bottom-line-minded chronicle of the rebuilding at Ground Zero provides a unique look at civic strife and a city's spirit. Full Review
