Resurrect Dead: Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles

A review written by Andy Webster for Resurrect Dead.

Andy Webster, who works for the New York Times, wrote his review for Resurrect Dead for locals or those in New York City. To further limit the audience reading his review, he uses sophisticated words, appealing to a more educated audience in the arts. One might say the use of sophisticated diction is pretentious, making the review hard to resonate with the general public and hard to connect with the reader on the personal level. In addition, the review seems to be geared towards New Yorkers because Webster mentioned that one of the tiles “can be found at West Broadway and Avenue of the Americas in SoHo.” Webster likes the documentary, especially the way the director Jon Foy uses a “moody score and dexterous editing to accentuate the mystery.”
