Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
13th ... is dense with information, and it moves fast. But it's also a story told in images, and the ones DuVernay has chosen ring not just with sadness and horror but also cautious optimism.

fresh:
DuVernay keeps it all chugging and churning along, propelled by the force of her montage and the sheer volume of damning, gripping material.

fresh:
Everything in "13th" illuminates what is convincingly presented as a sad and tragic story that we are still living today.

The film is a morass of distortions, half-truths, calculated omissions, absurd hyperbole and outright falsehoods.

fresh:
Note to the Academy: The Oscar for this year's Best Documentary belongs to 13th, Ava DuVernay's incendiary, indelible and indispensable document about the myth of racial equality in America.
