“Exceptional and important… one of the most impressive documentaries I have ever seen.”

— Jonathan Leaf,

“There were a handful of films that truly made me feel like I was watching someone walk a tightrope without a wire… Each new morsel of information in “Untouchable” (a hard look at how America treats convicted pedophiles) lands like a bombshell.”

— David Ehrlich,

“The debut feature documentary from David Feige, former attorney-turned-author and now filmmaker, is a thorough and thought-provoking examination of its theme. But the theme is not quite as straightforward as the viewer initially assumes. What starts out as an exploration of the highly emotive, hot-button topic of sexual offenses—particularly those in which children are the victims—turns out to be an indictment of the problems in the American legislative process and its dogmatic and draconian legal system.”

— Wendy Ide,

“Director David Feige ventures into one of the most difficult and emotional criminal justice issues of our time, the registration and restriction of sex offenders, and comes up with an eye-opening and powerful piece of work. He initially focuses on Ron Book, a multimillionaire lobbyist whose daughter’s sexual abuse at the hands of the family nanny prompted a crusade against sexual predators, and that focus is indicative of the film’s complexity; you feel so intensely for him, and his passion is so understandable, and yet his approach to this issue is, at the end of the day, wildly off-base. This becomes clear as Feige tells complementary and equally nuanced stories of survivors and perpetrators, most of them falling well outside the broad brush of these laws. This is an issue fraught with emotion yet beset by contradictions; Feige’s thought-provoking film is properly complicated and illuminating.”
