"Nuclear Family uses found footage to create a dark portrait of the violence and turbulences underlying seemingly ordinary family life." - Steve Anker

"An arresting, deconstructed, yet nostalgic work that resonates with optically reprinted images from the 1950s. Vintage government films in which mannequins record the effects of nuclear blast experiments, science films depicting animal experiments, and home movies are interwoven so as to comment upon and recollect the notion of family during the era which gave birth to the nuclear age." - John Columbus, Director, Black Maria Film Festival

"A haunting, emotional exploration of human isolation drawn from observational films - scientific films, documentation of animal-behavior experiments, and early preschool footage." - Kathy Geritz, Film Curator Pacific Film Archive.
