Arts Hub review RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH by Leon Marvel.

“What finally distinguishes Radio Free Albemuth from all previous adaptations is that this film has soul, and I am pretty sure that Philip K. Dick would agree.”

“You don’t have to be a fan of Philip K. Dick or science fiction to enjoy this film. Radio Free Albemuth should be mandatory viewing for anyone who is interested in vital, independent cinema. If you get the chance to see it, don’t miss it.”

Silvia Aramchek (Alanis Morissette) in Radio Free Albemuth, film adaptation of novel by Philip K. Dick
