Chicago 10 Reviews
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
A vibrant, unconventional documentary about the conspiracy trial of the so-called inciters of the riots that occurred during the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
If nothing else, it's a welcomed alternative to the more straightforward and serious film that Spielberg is likely to deliver.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A cacophony of sights and sounds and a disjointed narrative dilute the message.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Given the filmmaker's privileged perspective of hindsight, to notconsider the real-world repercussions of their theater, to not connect the dots between 1968 and 2008 is a squandered opportunity.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
As a peace-loving liberal, cross-examining Morgen's rousing, worthy, but slanted film is as fun as kicking yourself in the shins (or watching Clinton tear into Obama)
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
Makes skillful use of documentary footage to relate what happened in the streets of Chicago, culminating in what was routinely described at the time as 'a police riot.'
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
In eschewing the use of a narrator or talking heads, Morgen leaves out too much crucial information.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
In the end, the truest thing that can be said for Chicago 10 is that, though Morgen did just about everything he could to make his movie unwatchable, the story was interesting enough to fight him to a draw.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Chicago 10 is that nearly perfect marriage of style -- edgy, different -- to documentary subject: 1968, that seminal year so celebrated in 2008 for changing the America that came after it.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Chicago 10, Brett Morgen's semi-animated, semi-documentary attempt to make the '60s cool for a new generation of kids, does the opposite.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The movie dazzles us into self-examination.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Emerson
As an activist documentary with a contemporary agenda, it doesn't pretend to be "objective" (whatever that means), but to find inspiration in the passion and irreverence of its heroes.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
The director wants to bring recent history to life for people who weren't around to witness it, and in that he succeeds pretty admirably.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Worth seeing for the expert archival selections, but a decidedly mixed bag for anyone familiar, or unfamiliar, with the times.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
A provocative reflection of its rule-breaking subjects, Brett Morgen's political documentary re-examines the past while drawing unmissable parallels to the present.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
A documentary that somehow manages to capture the anarchic spirit of those topsy-turvy times without devolving into anarchy itself.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
The material is incredibly compelling -- though trust me, it was even more compelling (and scary) as it was happening.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's a fresh and important new take on one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
An electrifying picture.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Morgan does a magnificent job of getting the viewer's feet wet, splashing them with just enough information to make them eager to discover additional information about these people and events.
