Review of The Fifth Estate (2013) by Clare M — 29 Nov 2014

Incredibly well acted film that would have been much more enjoyable with a tighter script and more creative direction. Repeatedly the director uses visual metaphors to stand for the Internet, or people using the Internet, that made me feel catered toâ"as though the use of the Internet is not a common thing most viewers would be familiar with.

Sadly it was also most likely hurt a great deal by the subject of the film telling those who are his followers to not see the filmâ" when obviously the greatest audience for the film would be those who look up to Julian Assange.

Definitely still worth seeing for the acting and the interesting story of how mr. Assange founded WikiLeaks.
