Mark Kermode

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

At times it's heartbreaking, at others quite amusing, but it's always trying to retain a distance to view its subject.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

What's left is a touching and tragic portrait of a vulnerable work in progress, one that for now might only be visible through a clouded lens.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Hawkins seems beguiled by Manning's natural charisma, and more interested in the highs and lows of her personal reckoning.

Rated: 4/5

Culture Mix

[There are] many twists and turns to [Chelsea] Manning's saga that this revealing documentary chronicles with an unwavering purpose: to show viewers who she really is and how she has adjusted to life outside of prison.

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

This is a vivid picture of someone coping with infamy, but it's slow to explore the consequences of her deeds.

Rated: 3/5

Dan Barnes

Battle Royale With Cheese

XY Chelsea feels like a brief summary of Chelsea Manning's life so far, that's open to further research and interpretation, with plenty to still be told.
