"'The Palace' is riveting, suspenseful first class filmmaking. In just its
short running time it manages to be every bit as accomplished, compelling
and provocative as any full-length feature. 'The Palace' marks the
emergence of a major filmmaker in Anthony Maras."
Pete Hammond (Boxoffice Magazine)
