This mesmerising, tense and real life dramatic documentary is one of the best I have seen. The oscar winning documentary is a brilliant inside look into the incidents that happened when Edward Snowden released information to the world that claimed the intelligence agencies of the world are monitoring people's phones, computers etc.
I have to say I found it very filmic and I was hanging on to the tension of the real life situation of Snowden and the journalists involved in this release. The way the stress of the situation increased and the way the director held shots more and more as the film went along was brilliant. The director held shots for so long whilst in Snowden's hotel bedroom and I found this to be a really effective way of making me feel like the I was in the room.
Really griping brilliant film that has made me so much more aware of the issues that Snowden brought up from the depths of the secret services. I can clearly see why it won the Oscar.
Some good comments and reflections on this film - glad you enjoyed it!
