	Media	Author	Review
		Edward Frumkin The Film Stage	"Capturing the ascendancy of the working class, Union is a key addition to the canon of workers’ cinema that includes such vital films as 'American Factory'"
		Ronda Racha Penrice The Wrap	"There are just too many assumptions being asked of the audience here without presenting enough facts to validate this struggle. And that missed opportunity is truly unfortunate."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A documentary about the fight, one that takes the necessity of the fight as a given. That's amply inspiring"
		Warren Cantrell The Playlist	"Maing and Story’s honesty and remove from the filmmaking process has produced an unvarnished, raw document that offers up a slice of history: warts and all"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"While the observational approach gives the picture an urgency and immediacy, it’s a film that might have benefitted from the addition of more contextual background information about Amazon’s labour practices"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] perseveres as a vital and urgent portrait of labor organizing and its enduring possibility at a time when the fight for workers’ rights has never seemed more one-sided"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"It would be easy to build a halo-lit documentary portrait around this handsome, rabble-rousing father of three, but Brett Story and Stephen Maing’s excellent 'Union' is something more finely shaded and community-minded than that"
