Review of Citizenfour (2014) by Lamontraymond — 11 Nov 2014
Apparently I'm not the target audience for this film, and by target audience, I mean those who have learned virtually nothing about Ed Snow and his revelations over the last year or two. For me, the film was flat-out boring for much of its length.
Sure, it's cool seeing Ed's facial reactions as the news is breaking, and it's interesting to hear his thought process while instructing the journalists about the vast quantities of intel that he's provided them.
What we've got here is an interesting story and a very mediocre to poor documentary telling you that story. And that's just not good enough. You can't just mail this stuff in.
