The Square Reviews
It is simply one side of the coin
What made this movie so great, and why I gave this movie five stars, is because it takes you into the mind of how the revolutionaries though and how they formed their decisions.
In "The Square," Jehane Noujaim documents an essential piece of modern history. If only she could learn to clean the camera lens... What she captures through that dirty lens is, however, gruesome and inspirational. What the Egyptian revolutionaries achieved should serve as an example to other citizens of the world that are being abused by those in power. If the people demand the downfall of the regime, it can and will fall.
Compelling look at the political upheaval in Egypt very recently. The revolution thought they got what they wanted right away and then realized that without a clear vision of a new regime with a clear leader change becomes difficult. I never really followed the events and I learned a bunch. It has similarities to the Ukrainian revolt, but a bit less violent and more disorganized seemingly. Worth checking out. Makes me appreciate the broken system we have in the US.
A must see for anyone wondering what all the fuss is about re the Arab Spring, and the upheaval taking place on the other side of the world. Phenomenal documentary that gives you a look from ground zero.
Provides a good overview of the Egyptian revolution with the people who have been there since the beginning. Hopefully there will be a sequel.
I saw this like 3 years ago or something it was fantastic and I haven't thought about those the guys now that basically the Revolution the revolution went bust
Graphic violence, street art, and poetic statements combine to tell the powerful story of revolution in Egypt.
El nivel de compromiso es abismal y no tiene precedente, la producción es majestuosa y la intención directiva es exitosa. The Square te somete al filo de la historia de manera espectacular. Es una épica forma de hacer un documental, es simplemente revolucionario.
