“Other Reckless Things, a response to a bizarre newspaper account of a woman in Ithica, N.Y. who performed a Caesarean section on herself, is a daring yet subtle reflection on the anomalies of birth and self – mutilation.” – Kate Regan, San Francisco Chronicle.
“the film alternates clinical medical footage of a conventional Caesarean section in a hospital with clips of the news report bringing into question issues of invasion of privacy, of voyeurism, control over one’s body and the use of technology in situations that may not require it. Zweig’s text – sound…is chilling and charged as the film images.” – Will Torphy, Artweek.
