“"Probing, Intimate, and Politically Charged." 8/10 stars”

“"It’s a gut-punch and cinematic achievement on personal, social and cultural levels. … could well be the most important and relevant American film I’ll see this year "”

“"A seamless, eye-opening documentary, Death & Taxes is at once a slice-of-life family memoir, a character study, a coming-of-age story, and a thoughtful probe into the whole murky topic of legacy and estate taxes.”

“A remarkable portrait of how defending wealth can shortchange both personal happiness and the collective prosperity of our society”

“Deftly woven into his family’s personal narrative, the filmmaker unpacks persistent myths about estate taxes and illustrates the role that tax benefits and loopholes have played in creating a racial wealth gap, while still humanizing people who shared his father’s take.”

“Death & Taxes doesn’t just inform—it provokes reflection. It asks viewers to examine not only the fairness of the system, but their place within it. For those born into wealth, it’s a mirror. For those shut out of opportunity, it’s a reminder of how much further we have to go. ... Death & Taxes dares to slow down, dig deeper, and expose the emotional roots behind an economic issue. 4/5 STARS”
