Nicola Sacco, Bartolomeo Vanzetti, and the incredible firestorm of outrage generated by their criminal trials have been largely neglected in recent years, but Peter Miller's absolutely engrossing documentary Sacco and Vanzetti brings it all back.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 17, 2007

The meat-and-potatoes style of Sacco and Vanzetti seems less a failure of imagination than a means of putting in the foreground its intriguing subject matter.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 2, 2007

| Original Score: 2/6 | Mar 31, 2007

Miller, a New Yorker, uses archival footage, dramatized readings and talking heads, including Sacco's niece and a neighbor of Vanzetti's, to get his point across.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 30, 2007

Miller's film shows how quickly Americans facing perceived foreign threats are willing to ignore basic liberties. Sound familiar?

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 30, 2007

[Pic] does a superb job of condensing an overwhelming mass of documentation, archival imagery and artistic representation into a concise yet passionate history lesson whose relevance could not be timelier.

Only 81 minutes long, Sacco and Vanzetti is packed with information.

Full Review | Mar 29, 2007

[Director Peter Miller] shrewdly exposes the monolithic, class-driven legal machinery that sent a pair of innocent, hard-working immigrants to the chair.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 29, 2007

A bit pedantic, but thorough and interesting throughout, a must for history buffs.

| Mar 22, 2007

The documentary is a very dry accumulation of information, but the case of Sacco and Vanzetti haunts us to this day when immigrants continue to be scapegoated by our nation's politicos.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 19, 2007

Let's just say the story of Sacco and Vanzetti is a timely reminder of how things can go when politics obscure reasonable minds, and vigilance gives way vigilantism.
