FIXER is a NY Times Critic's Pick!
"As unsettling and complex as the country [Afghanistan] it traverses, Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi, Ian Olds’s stunning documentary....is a deeply disorienting film propelled by a jagged anxiety that permeates every image and interview."
- New York Times, Mar 9, 2010

"Best Theater for Documentaries" in Time Out's Movie Issue!
"Low-key but bursting with personality (cool carpets and pillows add to the feel that you’re hanging out at someone’s house), this intimate screening room for socially conscious docs was founded by legendary documentarian Albert Maysles (Grey Gardens), so expect creative programming." - Time Out New York, Mar 4–10, 2010
