Fionnuala Halligan Screen International A documentary that leaves you longing for some of the hard cut and thrust of the field won’t be a dynamic commercial contender, but The Stringer’s dogged probing makes it a valuable document. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter The Stringer builds upon an intense undercurrent of emotion. Nguyen has made a stirring film that is less about geopolitics than workplace politics -- and ultimately about the knotty bond between the two. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics The investigation is compelling and fruitful, yet there are a lot of redundant moments where the investigators restate things they’ve already said or unnecessarily seem to be thinking out loud. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The film provocatively finds that making history can have a number of different meanings. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Regardless of whether the “cover-up” is true, questions about our inability to control our work in the face of mega-corporations are one of the most pertinent questions of our moment.
