The Watergate case is one of the biggest criminal conspiracies in modern politics.

Barry Hertz

Globe and Mail

It's only that most of the material gathered here is rehashed and revelation-less, while the parts that don't feel familiar - such as recurring reenactments starring character actor Douglas Hodge as Tricky Dick - come off as just-this-side-of-silly.

Rated: 2.5/4

Ferguson's "Watergate" in fact is a marvel of obsession, full of endless details...and enough footage to swamp even the wonkiest of Watergate junkies.

Rated: 3.5/4

Little White Lies

One long - very long - run-on sentence that throws in a mass of details about the crisis but doesn't shape it in a way that makes sense of the information or gives us a reason to care.

A detailed history lesson of ethical and moral violations that come with a cautionary message.

Georgia Straight

The sordid tale is a deftly structured true-crime saga, with writer-director Charles Ferguson narrating.

POV Magazine

Ferguson presents an information overload that is undeniably fascinating, but also mentally exhausting due to the sheer volume of information it delivers.

A great refresher course in how a corrupt government can try to bring down the press, and anyone else seeking the truth. What's frightening is this is scarier time and even worse during the Nixon's era. Well done docu/drama.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
