CITIZENFOUR
"One-of-a-kind...an uncommon view of history in action."
CITIZENFOUR
"It's as if they have captured lightning in a bottle."

CITIZENFOUR
"Tense & frightening... a primal political fable for the digital age."
CITIZENFOUR
"One of the major and defining documentaries of recent times!"
CITIZENFOUR
"It's as if they have captured lightning in a bottle."
CITIZENFOUR
"One of the most absorbing things I've ever seen!"
CITIZENFOUR
"A wake-up call that hits you like a cold slap in the face."
CITIZENFOUR
"Everybody needs to see it... Crackling, necessary viewing that places us in the eye of the storm"
CITIZENFOUR
"Extraordinary... Poitras has produced a work that is at once politically empowering and an encapsulation history unfolding on camera"
CITIZENFOUR
"No wonder Citizenfour is being talked up as an Oscar hopeful. A canny, visually stylish balance of the personal and political, it’s the stuff Tinseltown thrillers are made of."
CITIZENFOUR
"Bravely made and utterly engrossing... John le Carré couldn’t have made this stuff up"
CITIZENFOUR
"A thrilling, shocking snapshot of a moment in time that will live in history"
CITIZENFOUR
"Spannender kann ein Dokumentarfilm kaum sein: Der Zuschauer ist unmittelbar in einer Situation dabei, in der Weltgeschichte geschrieben wird."
CITIZENFOUR
"Es ist dieser Moment im Hotelzimmer in Hongkong, der die Kraft dieses Films auf den Punkt bringt..."
CITIZENFOUR
"„Citizenfour“ geht an den Ausgangspunkt zurück, um daran zu erinnern, dass die Dimension des Skandals in auffallendem Missverhältnis zu seinen unmittelbaren politischen Konsequenzen steht."
CITIZENFOUR
"Erstaunlich unaufgeregt. Und unbedingt sehenswert..."
CITIZENFOUR
"The most chilling thriller of the year."
CITIZENFOUR
"Palpably electric...the action is perilously real and the camera isn't only capturing the historical event it's part of the making of it."
CITIZENFOUR
"Scenes of such intimate momentousness that the movie's a must see piece of work."
CITIZENFOUR
"A haunting historic document of Snowden's motivations and personality."
