Leave your thoughts about Chicago 10.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIf you accept the premise that it's a multimedia happening rather than a history lesson, the half-documentary, half-cartoon Chicago 10 is a smash of a mash-up. Call it 1968, the Remix. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneLee GrantChicago 10 is a movie for parents and grandparents to take their older children and grandchildren. It's worth a field trip for high school and college American history classes. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesJim EmersonAs an activist documentary with a contemporary agenda, it doesn't pretend to be "objective" (whatever that means), but to find inspiration in the passion and irreverence of its heroes. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealIndirectly scolds today's meek populace for letting its war-minded government rage unchecked. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe film uses voiceover actors and Waking Life-style animation to re-create the infamous trial with amazing effectiveness and intimacy. |
| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfChicago 10 is an art-house rarity that manages to visually dazzle while peeling away the layers of this contentious moment in time, giving viewers an eyeful of social unrest and wondrous screen fantasia. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersMorgan does a magnificent job of getting the viewer's feet wet, splashing them with just enough information to make them eager to discover additional information about these people and events. |
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonAs a peace-loving liberal, cross-examining Morgen's rousing, worthy, but slanted film is as fun as kicking yourself in the shins (or watching Clinton tear into Obama) |
| Christianity TodayBrett McCrackenThe filmmakers' hope, presumably, is that kids will see Chicago 10 and get stirred into action%u2014taking to the streets to take down The Man, Yippie style. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiA bit of a mess but it is such an energetic and ambitious mess that it winds up capturing the energy and feel of its subject better than a more staid approach to the material possibly could have achieved. |
