Rated: 4/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Christian Blauvelt indieWire With his new documentary “Riefenstahl,” Andres Veiel absolutely sets out to offer a different perspective: Glorify her at your peril. Rated: B Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg Hollywood Reporter So it’s a documentary in the purest of senses: an effort to impose a narrative around an assembly of documents.
