An intriguing risk reaching for but never quite grasping the rewards it seeks, just like everything it captures
August 04, 2017
Risk doesn't concern itself overly with the history or role played by WikiLeaks, but rather with the man at the centre.
May 11, 2017
Interesting if uneven ...
July 14, 2017
An interesting if rather unfocused documentary by Laura Poitras.
May 11, 2017
"Risk" makes a case that character is stronger than idealism or ideology - that who you are will always trump what you hope to achieve.
August 10, 2017
Poitras captures all of this in images that shimmer with clarity and precision. There's something wonderfully clear-eyed about Risk, even as the questions and moods it ignites are murky and unsettling.
June 28, 2017
A jaw-dropping profile of one man's battle with world governments, common decency and his own out-of-control ego.
August 03, 2017
Risk brings an odd lack of focus to Poitras's dour exercise, made no more convincing by her flat voice-over interjections.
May 08, 2017
The most salient feature of Risk is how Poitras remains non-judgmental throughout.
July 23, 2017
Despite taking a year to recut the film following its Cannes premiere in 2016, it's not apparent Poitras and co-editor Melody London found 'the film' at all.
May 12, 2017
There's no doubt that the world needs more iconoclasts, whistle-blowers and anti-authoritarian rabble-rousers. But it deserves better than Julian Assange.
May 08, 2017
We may not get a perfect documentary with Risk, but at least we get a very real and truthful sense of just how hard these kinds of movies are to make.
