Watching Collective is not unlike reading a Michael Crichton page-turner.

| Jul 26, 2023

Collective is a worthy addition to the genre of investigative journalism...

| Original Score: A | Mar 20, 2023

It isn’t just a documentary. It is a crime investigated in real-time and the push for accountability and reform to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

| Mar 6, 2023

Predictably, it’s extremely hard to watch. Unexpectedly, the rest of Collective turns out to be a grimly good time in two parts.

From its muted palette to its forensic storytelling, there is nothing showy about Collective. It's simply an amazing story of how a health system characterised by incompetence or indifference or corruption can and will kill.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 18, 2022

The three storylines are never tied together as well as they could be, even though each is effective on its own.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 13, 2022

I mean this with all sincerity: the best movie about journalism since Spotlight. Incendiary, maddening, urgent, about as close to perfect as you can get.

| Mar 11, 2022

Your outrage over bureaucratic red tape and its indifference to human life will be renewed and refreshed and intensified.

Too good to be ignored. [Full review in Spanish]

Collective is absolutely essential viewing.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 6, 2021

The main value of the documentary consists in the fact that it shows the events as they take place... with the emphaticness that only facts and data can offer. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 17, 2021

Without a narrator, without a voiceover, without signs that tell us who is in the picture, Nanau lets the images speak for themselves. [Full Review in Spanish]

Put simply, [Collective is] a rich portrait of the difficulties (if not impossibilities) of actual progress.

| Jun 5, 2021

It's simultaneously scary and infuriating to realize that people who are paid to guarantee a proper functionality of a health system don't give a damn if you live or die.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 25, 2021

Its job is to watch events and share them with us, and it does this to thrilling effect... But it's certainly less than the sum of its parts.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 25, 2021

Collective is riveting from start to finish.

| Original Score: A | Apr 21, 2021

...a sporadically interesting yet terminally unfocused documentary in dire need of streamlining.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 20, 2021

The film elicits a series of gasps, as one shocking revelation leads to another, and another.

| Apr 16, 2021

Horrific footage of the inferno casts an eerie light as Nanau's film begins, and, with a surgeon's precision, he peels away the scab hiding an immoral national health-care system at home, one that had been secretly festering for a decade.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 14, 2021

A dramatisation is bound to happen, likely as a Spotlight-style Hollywood movie starring a well-known name, but it'll never be able to match the power of seeing and hearing these appalling real-life horrors.
