Reviews
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
sam-1660 This is an amazing achievement; it's a documentary structured like a feature in 3 acts. I was on the ege of my seat for the entire two plus hours of this feature documenary. If documentaries have souls, this one has a very deep rice one. I'll be watching this over and over. Not since Medium Cool have we had an American protest film of this caliber.I have seen a lot of fims come out of Occupy, but nothing that even begins to compare to this, most of them are imposting a particular perspective, this one is not. It brings you into the trenches without imposing a perspective. It follows an anarchist collective in LA that, like OWS, is easy to dismiss until you listed to what there saying. In Radicalized you have the opportunity to hear and understand the Millinieal resistance in a way that we haven't before... unless we were there.
Wendy Gute This is an important film which captures a historic time of change in our recent current events. The brave individuals who are featured in this film risked everything for causes they believed in. They were arrested and beaten, living in difficult environments without thought of themselves but rather focusing on the greater good. At the beginning of the film the collective members were positive and optimistic. As time goes on they become disenchanted and even lose hope.The movie makers did a great job capturing their story: brilliant editing, filming, and music enhance the flow of this movie. Thousands of hours of film were cut down to create this l hour 57 minute film which still allowed the film to maintain the objective of those involved. The film is a reminder that we need to pay attention and not get complacent, we must ask questions, and "think while we can."
