	Media	Author	Review
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"A stirring and generous doc (...) Greene’s process —free of judgment, rooted in care— raises compelling questions about documentary filmmaking and what it can accomplish"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Here, Greene has made a(nother) sober, powerful, and even disarmingly playful film that hinges on performance as a kind of therapy."
		Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"[It] examines trauma through an audacious filmmaking experiment (...) The use of a project-within-the-project is something Greene has done before, and something that’s always intriguing in documentaries"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Greene and his team take an incredibly empathetic and empowering approach, threading a needle in which they never feel exploitative or manipulative"
		Charles Bramesco The Playlist	"In the form-expanding documentaries of Robert Greene, the artifice of performance clears a path with higher emotional truth waiting at its summit."
		Todd Gilchrist The Wrap	"'Procession' works for viewers in precisely the same way that some formulaic or conventional fiction film touches unexpectedly on some idea, theme, or moment that connects to something deeper within them"
		Simran Hans The Guardian	"What could have been a disaster in the hands of a less sensitive film-maker ends up an extraordinary feat of care, collaboration and creativity (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dustin Chang Screen Anarchy	"'Procession' needs to be seen broadly and widely discussed and the pedophile priests need to be exposed out in the open. One of the most powerful and important documentaries ever made"
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Robert Greene's immensely effective documentary captures a revelatory search for healing (...) A thoughtfully, impactfully cut work moving between process and finished product in contextually relevant, heartfelt ways"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Filmmaking is healing in an extraordinary doc on the trauma of Catholic Church sexual abuse"
