Reviews
From First Lady Laura Bush: "President Bush and I are touched by the many creative ways people across the nation have expressed their patriotism and their admiration for the heroes of September 11, 2001. Your video is a wonderful example of that creativity."
From Susan Sarandon: "In an era where citizens feel helpless and are skeptical as to what kind of a difference a volunteer can really make, Heart of Steel illustrates how even just one impassioned individual can move mountains. An important message for students and patrons alike! What M*A*S*H was to the Vietnam war, The Heart of Steel is to 9/11."
From David Edelstein, New York Magazine: "Touching."
From Lian Dolan, Satellite Sisters, ABC Radio Networks: "The Heart of Steel is an extraordinary film about ordinary citizens. I rooted for and cried with this band of renegade volunteers who helped get New York back on its feet after 9/11. What a story! This film should be in every school, every library as a vital part of history."
From Professor Heidi Ardizzone, University of Notre Dame: "This film is a gripping reflection of the wrenching contradictions of emotion and reaction to 9/11 before the politics of war and global terrorism became the dominant response."

Famous quotes containing the word reviews:
“Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books—same reviews.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
“The skilful Nymph reviews her force with care:
Let Spades be trumps! she said, and trumps they were.”

“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
