Going in to Citizenfour, I didn't know much about the whole story behind what Edward Snowden did and how he did it. So I was curious and ready to learn when I saw Citizenfour. And boy, did it deliver! Citizenfour is probably the best documentary I've ever seen!
THE GOOD:
+ The risks that were took to make this documentary made it so suspenseful! It took place in real-time while Snowden was releasing this information! The filmmakers took giant risks making this film, and to that, I give them respect.
+ The documentary actually pulled the heart-strings when it showed Snowden knowing he may never see his family again. It really made this man feel very relatable.
+ The editing was amazing, keeping you en the edge of your seat a lot! This is so amazing, considering it's a documentary and not a fictional thriller!
THE BAD:
- The only negatives I could find with Citizenfour was that the pacing got very slow near the ending of the movie. It could have ended 15 minutes before it actually ended.
Overall, Citizenfour is an incredibly interesting and brilliantly made documentary that is very eye-opening and educational. Though it is a little slow, the film is still incredible. See it!
RATING: 9.5/10.
