American Circumcision (2017) Reviews
Comprehensive documentary on modern American circumcision
Wow. This film really is shining a light on something hidden in plain sight here in America. Its extremely well done, in depth and concise. Highlighting the most prominent voices on both sides of this heated debate; it's thought provoking and balanced. This film is not an emotional high jacking, it's truly an education. I loved it.
Outstanding Documentary
'American Circumcision' begins with a beautifully filmed dramatization of a baby boy about to be cut, but stops short of the "procedure." We're whisked to Washington DC, during 'Genital Integrity Awareness Week' where activists interact with the public. The film continues at a swift pace that doesn't let up for an hour and forty minutes. The wide range of scenes and interviews that follow are very compelling, Marotta's skillful editing weaves everything together seamlessly. The information flows. There are moments of profound insight, deep sorrow, a few laughs and some unexpected reveals. The audience I saw this with paid rapt attention until the credits. The music by John Allen Graves underscores the movie perfectly contributing to the profound gravitas. 'American Circumcision' is unique, a must see, award-winning documentary for anyone who wants to be informed about this issue. It's Brendon Marotta's first full-length documentary film as director.
Somber at times, but also uplifting
In the theatre I saw it in, we could hear what seemed like most of the audience sobbing at one point (not about the graphic depiction of the surgery, but rather about a person's anguish while sadly expressing their regrets about not being better informed before allowing a loved one to be cut). But that sort of intensity is broken up by moments when those who would deny a male the right to make his own choice look positively ridiculous, and don't seem to realize how sill they sound. The film also provides uplift by highlighting some men who have been able to undo the predictable sexual damage of circumcision to an extent. Very well told - fair and balanced. I hope all expecting families see this before delivering.
Finally, an outlet for truth
I can't describe how happy I am that this film has been made. These voices need to be heard and this is a huge outlet. I hope it becomes more and more widely available to see and that it changes the hearts and minds of many.
This Movie Brought My Family Together
I was circumcised as a baby and was traumatized when I learned about it as a young child in sex ed. I bottled up my emotions for a decade, thinking I could push the issue to the back of my mind but I never succeeded. I suffered anxiety and depression, which negatively impacted my life and strained my relationship with my parents. When we watched this movie together as a family, we were in tears as all the pain, grief, and sorrow were finally expressed. Now we know we are not alone and I have been able to at last turn a new page in my life. I want to thank the producers of this film for bringing this issue to light and for their tireless efforts to protect babies and the men they will grow up to be. This documentary is not just informative but also healing for the families whose lives have been changed forever by infant circumcision.
