« When I returned to Los Angeles after my Christmas break, I found a rather belated Christmas present in my letterbox; it was John Dorr’s new film. John Dorr’s Seasons Greetings, the latest in a series of video letters that John sent to his friends each year.

It begins with a short statement to the camera about living with AIDS, which serves as a prologue to a series of vignettes recorded during trips he made last year with companion George La Fleur. » Bill Krohn, « John Dorr’s New Year’s Greetings », Cahiers du cinéma, n°470, Nov. 1993
