	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] may only be a three-part anthology docuseries, but in those three parts, it manages to be wide-ranging, timely and vitally important"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Poignant, personal HBO doc on the mess in Texas"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"For those who watch with an open mind and in good faith, 'God Save Texas' should help them understand it a little better, no matter how far they live from the border. One might even say it has the Wright stuff."
		Brian Farvour The Playlist	"Three exceptional voices had the chance to tell these stories, each both similar and distinct, and when brought together, a piece of art emerges, no doubt destined for further examination in years to come"
		Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"It's fascinating to see Texas portrayed through sets of eyes that share a baseline political sensibility but that differ in terms of their cultural background (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Alejandra Martínez Austin Chronicle	"This is powerful documentary filmmaking that may help others understand what makes Texas such an interesting, fraught place to call home"
