"An extraordinary film, which powerfully evokes the feeling of the city, but more important, a film of fine graphic design." - Lenny Lipton
"Things to watch for include: the way DeWitt thinks inside his camera, the use of single-frame techniques to enhance certain images, the lens-integrity in zoom and focusing effects (he borrowed Vanderbeek's equipment to make this film), and the moderate use of solarization (re-exposed/negative print) and multiple exposure. There is a lot to be learned from ATMOS FEAR." - David Buehler
