Fascinating to watch as a portrait of political celebrity and ego.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
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.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

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.
Marta Barber, Miami Herald
Fresh
A stunning and overwhelmingly cogent case for Kissinger as a calculating war criminal.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
