"When I got Mas Man, I was ready to dissect the film, but it me. It blew me off the planet. Great work. -AVOTCJA, poet, |

"Narine’s movie captures the sense of the controversy aroused by Mr. Minshall’s work." -Richard McKeown, Peter Minshall Mas Fans Facebook |
||||||
|
||||||
"Mas Man goes a long way toward allowing the audience to feel the passion for the art form that burns within Minshall... Narine cleverly allows the protagonist of this documentary to be the ‘work’ itself (the genius and artistic expression) of Minshall - which is consistent with Minshall’s philosophies and own approach to his productions... In addition, Narine was able to quantify that ‘thing’ which defines the context for greatness -- the ability to produce excellent works that have global outreach, appreciation and implications, and that capacity to do it again and again, and the courage to embrace and express in those works, one’s traditions - without apology." -When Steel Talks / Panonthenet (New York) |

"Minshall’s work is a superlative example of the richness and diversity of Trinidadian art and culture. His commentary, and those of individuals from academia and the arts, are instructive and analytical insights intended to enhance the viewer’s grasp of Minshall’s extraordinary vision." -Caribbean Life and Times, New York |

(The) film is by Dalton Narine and edited by Benedict Joseph...an excellent film. Kudos to all involved. -Derren Joseph, commentator, Trinidad Guardian. |

The Dalton Narine 108-minute documentary...makes an admirable attempt at an honest, multi-dimensional analysis of Minshall, his mas, and the politics of culture in which his personality and art participate...The feature attempts a deeper, truer tribute; it includes commentaries by several people that address controversial ideas about Minshall. -Sheila Rampersad, Sunday Express |
