Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Godfrey CheshireThough superlatives can mischaracterize any movie’s qualities, it is not an overstatement, I think, to call Citizenfour, Laura Poitras’ film about Edward Snowden, the movie of the century (to date).
Chicago Daily Herald - 10/10 by Dann GireCitizenfour moves like a master spy novel.
NYC Movie Guru - 10/10 by Avi OfferCalm, yet enraging. Among the most frightening and important films of the year. It must be seen by all Americans for the sake of democracy. Every U.S. government official should undergo a mandatory mental health evaluation!
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Thomas LeeAnd there lies the greatest flaw with Citzenfour and Snowden himself. Despite the film’s virtues, we’re no closer to understanding Snowden than we were a year ago when this saga began.
Nonfics - 10/10 by Daniel WalberPoitras has made a personal film because there is no other option for this story. Her involvement changed her life, as it did the lives of her collaborators. The result is a masterful fusion of journalism and art.
GQ Magazine [UK] - 10/10 by Ben TravisIt's rare to see this sort of candid footage, but then transparency is Snowden's mantra.
Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawCitizenfour is a gripping record of how our rulers are addicted to gaining more and more power and control over us – if we let them.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Ty BurrCitzenfour is prosaic in its presentation and profoundly chilling in its details, and if you think Snowden is a traitor, you should probably see it. If you think he’s a hero, you should probably see it. If you haven’t made up your mind — well, you get the idea.
Wall Street Journal - 10/10 by John AndersonThere are not a lot of moments in documentary cinema that equal Citizenfour. Ms. Poitras was already at work on a film about government surveillance when Mr. Snowden presented himself, and she’s something of a lightning rod, too, one with little evident sympathy for Obama administration data mining.
ReviewExpress.com - 10/10 by Jean Lowerison"Citizenfour" needs to be seen by all concerned with this issue
