Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap “October 8” is often at its strongest when Sachs touches on broader perspectives within her thesis. Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Alissa Simon Variety The informative film calls attention to an important issue, but viewers should recognize that the perspective is one-sided. Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Sam Adams Slate The movie is hugely enlightening, if not solely for the reasons it means to be. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine October 8 makes some compelling points whenever it isn’t flying off the rails. Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Mainly, the subjects, and presumably the filmmakers, of both October 8 and The Encampments have a strident belief that most major institutions are against them and their cause. Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Among a broad range of interviews, testimonies on the impacts of antisemitic verbal attacks in person and online include details by several American Jewish women that are the most impactful, esp. at U.S. colleges. But the conspiratorial evidence is thin. Rated: 6/10 Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
