provocative study

| Original Score: B- | Dec 3, 2009

A fast-paced documentary that entertains as it informs.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 26, 2007

Directly charging him with mass murder, the film colors Kissinger as a secretive, paranoid, duplicitous megalomaniac who rose to political superstardom while literally--the movie claims--getting away with decisions that left hundreds of thousands dead.

In a larger sense, this powerfully muckraking film is about the accountability of public figures and about how, in regard to international justice, there can be no exceptions.

At best, The Trials of Henry Kissinger constitutes an indictment, not a conviction.

| May 16, 2004

This documentary, far from a trial and not for geeks only, presents a focused, ferocious attack on a beloved target long overdue for his comeuppance.

| Original Score: 85/100 | Jan 27, 2004

Jarecki and Gibney do find enough material to bring Kissinger's record into question and explain how the diplomat's tweaked version of statecraft may have cost thousands and possibly millions of lives.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 7, 2003

The bigger question it raises now is what to do with his ideological disciples in the Bush administration.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 10, 2003

It's both a necessary political work and a fascinating documentary...

| Original Score: B | Mar 10, 2003

Eugene Jarecki amasses a compelling body of evidence suggesting that Kissinger should be formally investigated for a possible role in the CIA-supported coup.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003

Whether you buy Hitchens' arguments, one leaves The Trials of Henry Kissinger seeing him as a man who viewed international diplomacy as a game, blithely ignoring the human toll of his gamesmanship.

| Feb 24, 2003

Even if the case against Kissinger is not fully convincing, the documentary keeps you glued to your seat and thinking long after you've left the theater.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 13, 2003

Jarecki's film is jampacked with information -- both fact and opinion -- utilizing news and interview footage, archival photographs and talking heads.

It's not helpful to listen to extremist name-calling, regardless of whether you think Kissinger was a calculating fiend or just a slippery self-promoter.
