Review of Risk (2017) by Metaflix — 21 May 2017
What’s most notable about Risk is director Laura Poitras’ incredible access to Assange, at times capturing some of the most pivotal and dramatic moments of the Wikileaks mythos. And yet, it’s as though this insider access clouded Poitras’ judgment when constructing the film, like she was too far inside the boundaries of the landscape to accurately paint its scenery.
From purely a storytelling standpoint, the film 'We Steal Secrets’ is a better Wikileaks documentary, which should come as no surprise considering that was written and directed by Alex Gibney, perhaps the best documentarian in the business.
