      Audience Member Paul Williams' film is a masterful piece of social observation. Although the issues raised by The Revolutionary are the age-old ones of means-versus-ends, it achieves a certain integrity by its determinedly low-key approach to its subject. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
