"A seductive documentary about Holland, which permits prostitution, abortion, pornography and marijuana use, has banned capital punishment and handguns, and has the lowest prison rate in the world, not to mention low rates of crime, abortion, teen pregnancy and drug deaths. The movie argues that many laws governing personal behavior cause more crime than they prevent."
--Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

"An eye opener which should be required viewing."
--Alan Dershowitz, from "Justice"

"Blank's intriguing documentary, SEX, DRUGS & DEMOCRACY offers an uncensored tour of the nether parts of the Netherlands...The sources, articulate and well pedigreed, are convincing."
--Rita Kempley, Washington Post

"4 Stars! The movie challenges people to examine their freedoms and limitations."
-Bob Fenster, The Arizona Republic

"A provocative argument for fighting social taboos by making them legal."
--Bruce Williamson, Playboy
