"This film is only one minute long. Yet, what is said in those precious 60 seconds could fill a series of books about film and pop culture. Written, directed by and starring Ari Gold, "Culture" is one part performance piece and another part essay on movie violence and moviegoer's thirst for blood -- or it may just be enjoyed for what it is, an actor flexing every muscle in his highly trained body. It will take you longer to read this review than to see the film, but it may be seen over and over again and examined and argued about as to its meaning. "Culture" is 60 seconds of pure cinematic brilliance." --FilmThreat
