Movie Reviews

Toronto Star - 8/10 by Peter HowellWhat's the real story? Kastner gets as close to it as probably anyone could.
Cinemalogue - 8/10 by Todd Jorgenson... capably examines the ethical complexities of Ali's actions and their broader ramifications, which still resonate today.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Matt FagerholmWhat resonates most potently are the scenes of the 1972 trial.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Craig D. LindseyCanadian documentarian Jamie Kastner (The Secret Disco Revolution) has crafted an entertainingly kitschy version of an Errol Morris film.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Katie WalshStylistic choices could have undermined the film, but the story and revelations are so shocking and powerfully absorbing that The Skyjacker’s Tale rises above.
National Post - 6/10 by Chris KnightSo what makes the taking of American Airlines flight 626 on New Year's Eve, 1984, worth its own documentary? Not too much, really.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Ben KenigsbergThe Skyjacker’s Tale could stand to lose its gimmicky re-enactments. Why supplement a story this crazy?
Paste Magazine - 5/10 by Daniel SchindelDespite the intriguing subject matter, this documentary can’t stay in the air.
Movie Nation - 5/10 by Roger MooreThe movie creates a lovely arc for how we think of Ali, from monster to, “Well, maybe not.” But you’re allowed to think the filmmaker is naive, tilting his story toward those on Ali’s side, buttressing a case for his humanity and justifiable skyjacking.
Variety - 5/10 by Scott TobiasA Skyjacker’s Tale is all in the telling, and Jamie Kastner’s haphazard documentary misses the opportunity to get it right, despite having access to Ali and an impressive assembly of major players from his past.
