Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2011

A documentary that somehow manages to capture the anarchic spirit of those topsy-turvy times without devolving into anarchy itself.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2008

Makes skillful use of documentary footage to relate what happened in the streets of Chicago, culminating in what was routinely described at the time as 'a police riot.'

| Original Score: B | Apr 4, 2008

A vibrant, unconventional documentary about the conspiracy trial of the so-called inciters of the riots that occurred during the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 4, 2008

The material is incredibly compelling -- though trust me, it was even more compelling (and scary) as it was happening.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 14, 2008

If nothing else, it's a welcomed alternative to the more straightforward and serious film that Spielberg is likely to deliver.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 14, 2008

Given the filmmaker's privileged perspective of hindsight, to notconsider the real-world repercussions of their theater, to not connect the dots between 1968 and 2008 is a squandered opportunity.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 14, 2008

It's a fresh and important new take on one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.

Full Review | Mar 3, 2008

As a peace-loving liberal, cross-examining Morgen's rousing, worthy, but slanted film is as fun as kicking yourself in the shins (or watching Clinton tear into Obama)

| Original Score: B- | Feb 29, 2008

A cacophony of sights and sounds and a disjointed narrative dilute the message.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 29, 2008

In the end, the truest thing that can be said for Chicago 10 is that, though Morgen did just about everything he could to make his movie unwatchable, the story was interesting enough to fight him to a draw.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 29, 2008

In eschewing the use of a narrator or talking heads, Morgen leaves out too much crucial information.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 29, 2008

A provocative reflection of its rule-breaking subjects, Brett Morgen's political documentary re-examines the past while drawing unmissable parallels to the present.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 29, 2008

The director wants to bring recent history to life for people who weren't around to witness it, and in that he succeeds pretty admirably.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 29, 2008

Worth seeing for the expert archival selections, but a decidedly mixed bag for anyone familiar, or unfamiliar, with the times.

| Original Score: B | Feb 29, 2008

The movie dazzles us into self-examination.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 29, 2008

An electrifying picture.

| Feb 29, 2008

Chicago 10, Brett Morgen's semi-animated, semi-documentary attempt to make the '60s cool for a new generation of kids, does the opposite.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 29, 2008

As an activist documentary with a contemporary agenda, it doesn't pretend to be "objective" (whatever that means), but to find inspiration in the passion and irreverence of its heroes.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 29, 2008

Morgan does a magnificent job of getting the viewer's feet wet, splashing them with just enough information to make them eager to discover additional information about these people and events.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 28, 2008
