Morgan Rojas Cinemacy While interesting for fans of historical documentaries, the average movie-goer may find the execution tired and, shall I say it, boring. I personally found it a little bit of both, but those last five minutes really made the film worth it for me. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Chris V This is how documentaries should be made by using footage that is relevant to the subject. Modern documentaries are all about talking heads pretending to be experts, but this is an old school type of documentary where the filmmaker gets out of the way of the subject they are documenting. This is how documentaries used to be made and that art has been lost. I thought this was a fascinating look at Rockefeller and his disappearance who and which I knew nothing about and I loved the archival footage. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
