The Bibi Files is an urgent journalistic exposé based on unseen leaked footage of police interrogations of the politician as well as his wife Sara and son Yair. The film explores the corruption cases that resulted in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's indictment on breach of trust, bribery, and fraud in 2019.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's never polemical... it just lays out the evidence, which I have to say, is pretty damning. Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times Alexis Bloom’s riveting film — whose producers include prolific documentarist Alex Gibney — is built around leaked footage of Netanyahu, his family and associates testifying to police. Rated: 4/5 Dec 23, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Essential viewing. Rated: 4/5 Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope 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. Rated: B Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture 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. Rated: 4/10 Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye 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.

David M 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review henry n an absolute must watch. see bibi in a whole new light. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Zack K 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Clean U This here is a very good documentary And it really exposes netanyahu with his own words. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Tom F A slow-building and powerful cinematic indictment of puppet Bibi and his far-right masters. Likely the only "indictment" he'll receive. "War" (aka genocide!) continues to save his craven, traitorous ass. So many obvious parallels to our rapidly deteriorating situation in the USA; it's both illuminating and depressing as hell. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Simon T A savage take-down of Benjamin Netanyahu's corrupt and cruel premiership, featuring many Israeli former associates who now lead the charges against him. But it is a 20 year-old Jewish girl, caught up in the October 7th massacre, when her kibbutz was attacked and so many of her friends murdered, who proves the most eloquent critic, quietly dismantling Netanyahu's self-serving rhetoric. An excellent and chilling documentary, co-produced by Alex Gibney. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
