| EmpireOlly RichardsA gripping, moving, sometimes frustrating portrait of a man consumed by a need to speak up, even as he wonders if anybody’s watching. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThis is tense, essential film-making that argues for the importance of serious, balanced journalism in today’s world of factional infotainment, while also showing the cost to those who stand against the tide. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonHe may not be the most charismatic news anchor in the history of TV but Mr. Kumar has nerve, arguing with bellicose callers, singing to them while they rant (and promise to kill him) and sometimes getting them to sing along. As captured by Mr. Shukla, he also works tirelessly on behalf of something that you suspect wouldn’t be quite so despised if it weren’t also the truth. |
| The New York TimesDevika GirishThe documentary is less an inspiring tale than a sobering wake-up call. |
| RogerEbert.comRobert DanielsWhile We Watched is an urgent interrogation of the state of journalism today. And yet, while important, it’s unclear what this has to say that hasn’t already been said. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawIt’s a valuable view on how easy it is for the news media to become sycophantic mouthpieces for the right. |
