Slant Magazine

The film isn’t interested in anything that would detract from providing audiences with the sustained pleasure of watching a clock-ticking thriller.

Rated: 1.5/4

Caroline Siede

Girl Culture (Substack)

[Director Tim Fehlbaum] leaves questions about the ethics and morality of live news coverage up to the viewer to interpret, which makes the film a sort of Rorschach test in terms of how much depth you want to grant it.

Rated: B

TheWrap

Fehlbaum has gone against the grain of the story but managed to find a potent way to focus on the array of moral dilemmas it raised.

The Film Stage

Here, humanity is condensed and trapped in professional gestures––a bloodless upholding of American corporate-media machinations.

Rated: C

This is a deeply heartfelt and emotional watch that honors the memories of the victims of that day and respectfully and effectively interrogates the actions of those who helped the entire world witness it.

Rated: 9/10
