Barkan is a charismatic character who’s easy to like, although one wonders how much the documentary crew resisted showing anything that might dent the halo the film sets round his head.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2022

The film shines when we get to see Barkan as a fully formed figure. This is not solely a somber portrait of a dying man.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 1, 2021

Director Nicholas Bruckman honors Barkan's work despite escalating struggles with ALS in a traditional yet surprisingly uplifting fashion.

We are lucky to have this film to speak for [Barkan].

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 13, 2021

It is a warm and generous portrait, but the film lacks its central organizer's propulsive shrewdness.

What's most impressive about "Not Going Quietly" is that these considerable victories appear to have been earned according to Bruckman and Roddy's footage and not just based on selective quotes they pull from CNN's coverage.

Not every rally or speech leads to overnight change, but when Barkan speaks, people listen.

| Original Score: B | Mar 25, 2021

A pure shot of inspiration.

| Mar 23, 2021

An unusually moving political doc.
