Leave your thoughts about The Feeling of Being Watched.
| The Young FolksNathanael HoodSomething doesn't fully come together in The Feeling of Being Watched. That's admittedly a terrible thing to say about such an earnest, heart-felt film seeking justice for a persecuted minority. |
| The PlaylistChris Barsanti...probably the only movie in recent years to invoke Foucault when talking about FBI counterterrorism surveillance. But it shouldn't be the last. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeEqual parts angry and anxious, Boundaoui's smart, unsettling documentary functions both as a real-world conspiracy thriller and a personal reflection on the psychological strain of being made to feel an outsider in one's own home. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoIt is how this unspoken unease is expressed that makes the film most haunting, and whether the filmmaker intended for it or not, makes for essential viewing. |
