“Part visual essay, part psychedelic home video, part tribute to the life of her late friend Adam Litovitz, the production is surprising, heartfelt and discom-bobulating. But above all, Death and Sickness is intensely intimate.”

“A love story in which the haunting complexities of sexuality and gender are treated with cinematic urgency... Octavio Is Dead! is a gothic romance with a fevered vision all its own.”
