Movie Reviews

Cinema Signals - 10/10 by Jules BrennerAn illuminating portrait of the courage that is as much a part of this Haitian broadcaster for human rights and democracy as vanity, pride and almost fanatical fearlessness.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowAs a documentary, The Agronomist, in its excitingly fractured, modern manner, does what Lawrence of Arabia and The Leopard do: It traces the upheaval of a civilization in the profile of a magnificent individual. It's a 90-minute nonfiction film with the impact and the greatness of an epic.
Film Freak Central - 9/10 by Walter ChawFreedom to hope that one person, convicted and articulate, can still make a difference.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerA rousing celebration of a genuine people's hero and a timely reminder that a free press is the greatest weapon in the arsenal of democracy and freedom.
Slate - 9/10 by David EdelsteinDemme's movie exuberantly crosses the border from documentary into hagiography and from hagiography into celebration.
Miami Herald - 9/10 by Marta BarberReminds us of previous events in the country's history, as told by a Haitian who impresses us as someone honestly looking for nothing more than peace.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 9/10 by Laura KellyJean Dominique was a man worth remembering, and Demme does him justice.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranDirector Demme has done other potent and meaningful films, but The Agronomist defers to none of them in its effectiveness and its power.
New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottA magnificent documentary about the life of Jean Dominique, a Haitian radio broadcaster who was a brave and tireless voice for democracy and human rights in that unlucky country.
L.A. Weekly - 9/10 by Marc CooperAlthough the film may be about 20 percent overweight, the human story of a man who -- for four decades -- spat in the eye of his tormentors and gleefully accepted his role as a latter-day Sisyphus commands the viewer's attention.
