Leave your thoughts about Active Measures.
| VarietyOwen GleibermanWhile it’s not as if the film comes up with some smoking gun that Robert Mueller hasn’t yet, it fills in the Trump-Russia connection in a dogged, rigorously reported, eyebrow-raising way. |
| WBAI RadioPrairie MillerProceed with caution in this disclaimer-free Dem infomercial in doc sheep's clothing. And one-side-to-every-story carnival barker spree - the best line from a smirking talking head asked for proof: Everything I know that's interesting, I can't tell you. |
| TheWrapTodd GilchristIf there’s anything that Active Measures does most effectively, it’s to demonstrate the depths and the breadth of the corruption, the criminality, the immorality operating in contemporary politics. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckActive Measures delivers a well-researched and smartly laid-out cinematic thesis that connects the myriad dots in skillful fashion. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt FagerholmThere’s a priceless scene in Jack Bryan’s new documentary, Active Measures, where McCain is seen smirking through a speech delivered by the Russian president, as he sneers with theatrical menace in the senator’s direction. |
| The New York TimesKen JaworowskiThis formidable film is sometimes zealous to a fault: The credits cite more than 200 sources of archival material, from The Washington Post to YouTube channels. It’s a lot to take in, as names and numbers zip by, yet missing some of its points may be healthy. To explore every moment is to risk overdosing on outrage. |
| MovieWebJulian RomanArdent supporters of Donald Trump will find Active Measures difficult to digest. However, the mountain of evidence the film provides cannot be discounted. The threads connected are well-sourced and incriminating. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleJack Bryan’s thorough, chilling rabbit-hole inquiry into our president’s connections to Russia — Active Measures — is as good a place as any to fuel one’s fear/outrage. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganUnfortunately, Bryan's case quickly turns into a dense, confusing slog through a bewildering array of newspaper headlines, TV news clips, splashy graphics and talking heads. |
| The GuardianCharles BramescoBryan’s done his homework, mapping out an elaborate network of past wrongdoings with news clippings and TV footage. If the just deserts that this film demands ever come to pass, it will almost certainly be the most copiously photographed treason in a long and illustrious American tradition. |
