Murtada Elfadl Variety While “Antidote” might appear to be a straightforward David vs. Goliath story, in choosing to concentrate on the arduous work of how the truth gets uncovered, the filmmakers end up making a rousing, feature-length call to action. Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today We gain a real appreciation for the bravery of everyone involved and the bullying cowardice of a dictator who would prefer to eliminate foes rather than answer to the issues they raise. Rated: 4/5 Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat I doubt I’ll see a better or more important documentary this year than Antidote. Every single second is absolutely riveting.
