04/27/2018 Director makes interesting topic boring. Also inserts herself in story too much. See more 12/28/2017 The documentary Risk from director Laura Poitras is an engrossing and fascinating portrait of a man that history has yet failed to fully grasp. Julian Assange would like to be thought of as the Robin Hood of the information era, robbing the rich of their secrets and sharing them with the world. But Assange's choice to make himself the public face of his Wikileaks organization has unquestionably gone to his head and rendered him a paranoid and strange figure who believes conspiracies against him are hiding behind every corner. https://geeks.media/movie-review-risk?_ga=2.96904415.1126457623.1513947710-953607229.1513947710 See more 09/19/2017 As slow as the whole Wikileaks's saga See more 09/18/2017 A little choppy around the edges but in the main a continuous narrative all the same. An honest portrayal of Julian Assange & many of his delemmas confronting his struggle for transparency in a world starving for it. See more 09/10/2017 Good information. Nice photography. Story not very well told. See more Simon T @Bucksplit 08/29/2017 Portrait of the narcissist's narcissist, the intelligent but profoundly misguided Julian Assange. This strangely edited, often inaudible, film mimics its subject in wanting to be taken incredibly seriously. But just because you punctuate your film with intertitles and portentous music and get to include footage of Trump, Clinton H and Snowden doesn't mean you've metamorphosed into Errol Morris or Werner Herzog. And this film certainly gets no closer to understanding Mr Wikileaks. See more Read all reviews
