Liam Lacey · The Globe and Mail (Toronto) 100.00/100.00

The documentary of the year may also be its most hair-raising thriller.

Tyranian 5.00/10.00

Vaguely interesting exposition of reporting techniques but the actual focus is not as revelatory as its made out to be.

Ty Burr · Boston Globe 100.00/100.00

Citzenfour is prosaic in its presentation and profoundly chilling in its details, and if you think Snowden is a traitor, you should probably see it. If you think he’s a hero, you should probably see it. If you haven’t made up your mind — well, you get the idea.
