It's never polemical... it just lays out the evidence, which I have to say, is pretty damning. Go to Full Review

This is not an easy movie to sit through. A lot of it seems repetitive and static. It is, however, a valuable documentary for those who want to understand Israel's government and the fighting in the Middle East. Go to Full Review

4/10
Netanyahu is a corruptible force for evil, but this film would have you believe that he’s a mere aberration in a nation’s history rather than the logical result of its misdeeds and violent actions. Go to Full Review
Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Dec 28
The Bibi Files is not just an expertly made investigation of Israel's most notorious head of state: it’s a Macbeth-like fable of a man punch-drunk on blind ambition; a penetrating study of a man corrupted and empowered by his violent addiction to power. Go to Full Review

Sal D @JustTheLaw Nov 16 This documentary shines a light on the addictive thirst for power draws only the darkest malevolent people into positions of power. The level of corruption and psychopathy of Benjamin Netanyahu is a lesson for all peoplee to deploy critical thinking about their leaders and elected officials. Netanyahu will not have much of a legacy unless he destroys all of humanity. See more Mark L Jul 8 As an American I had heard a little about the legal issues of Netanyahu. I thought the charges were probably politically motivated as they were with Donald Trump. I was mistaken. Lots of his friends and associates were among the hundreds of people interviewed by police. I know the case in his defense was not presented but I think if you're open minded it's hard not to conclude Netanyahu and his wife demanded and accepted bribes. And apparently Bibi has been trying to rig the judicial branch in Israel so he can escape accountability. Well worth watching if interested at all. See more David M Jun 30 I can't believe after watching this that the whole scandal. Supposedly, it's about bb, getting some cigars and champagne. That's ridiculous. You should use this to make the people for accusing him of this. They look like morons, which they do you mean to tell me that a politician is not allowed to get cigars and champagne or gifts? If that was the case, every politician in the u s would be in prison. Weak sauce See more henry n Jun 29 an absolute must watch. see bibi in a whole new light. See more Zack K Jun 19 Excellent documentary that meticulously goes over the facts regarding the Israeli regime's chronic corruption. Netanyahu has turned his country into a banana republic and a Pariah State. See more Clean U Jun 16 This here is a very good documentary And it really exposes netanyahu with his own words.
