Leave your thoughts about Documented.
| GuardianTom McCarthyVargas's deep and personal investment in immigration reform, combined with his obvious love of the public eye, would suggest a natural career path for him, one that crystallizes in the movie as he testifies before the Senate judiciary committee. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghThe film is at its best when Vargas, like a good journalist, probes the subject of immigration and talks to people about their experiences and opinions. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeAn engaging documentary...Documented also explores Vargas's painful relationship with his mother. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceWe come to the realization that some of the best people in the US don't have papers. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneAnders WrightNo matter which side of the aisle - or the fence, I guess - you sit on in terms of the immigration issue, any time this discussion is humanized is a good one. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe film blurs lines between documentary, reality television and "Candid Camera," with Vargas instigating the proceedings. |
| San Diego ReaderMatthew LickonaThe best moments come when Vargas engages "regular" Americans in conversation, letting them know that he was brought here as a child...and that he has paid his taxes to boot. |
| User ReviewRegina BHad me, my girlfriend and little sister crying on the couch at two in the morning. A rattling story that certainly has its familiarities within many communities and many families in Western countries; the plight of an immigrant is a difficult one. |
| User ReviewJonathan GI recommend this to all people who are fighting for something. |
| User ReviewWildaly MDocumented fearlessly exhibits how even the best people in America cannot legally call themselves Americans. Aside from being a brilliant cinematic piece, Documented is an important testament of how citizenship must be a lot more than mere papers. |
