	Media	Author	Review
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"'The Proposal' meditates on the meaning of artistic legacy and hums with the fear of being wiped from public memory. Most of all, it shines an ingeniously media-savvy spotlight on Barragán’s work"
		Jude Dry IndieWire	"A film about two women’s quest to understand an artist who inspires them, though their methods are wildly different and diametrically opposed. The conflict makes for an extremely absorbing story"
		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"A thoughtful, elegantly hypnotic exploration of ownership, access and moral responsibility. Magid’s inspired response to a complex situation makes for an intriguing and approachable film"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A dreamy account of a project fusing longing with intellectual rigor (...) 'The Proposal' has a life of its own, beautiful and provocative."
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"As much as 'The Proposal' can be gripping with its heady adventure, its compassion has the most complicated and fascinating presence throughout (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"The issues Magid raises about inaccessibility, power and control in the art world are unquestionably important"
