The fusion of fiction and independent journalism adds to the complexity of a story that exposes the 'news' as a narrative cowritten by the government and the TV networks.
08/20/05
Marshall's ambitions are admirable, but he falls short when it comes to wrapping the message in credible, compelling drama.
07/01/05
It's a pity that such vital, thought-provoking material has been rendered so lifeless and inauthentic on the screen.
06/30/05
Stephen Marshall's admirable but unfocused new film is set in New York City during the 2004 Republican National Convention.
06/29/05
Top CriticMarshall says he was inspired by the Haskell Wexler cult classic Medium Cool, filmed at the infamous 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. He has a lot to learn before he'll be anywhere near Wexler.
06/29/05
As any revolutionary knows, there's a big leap between theory and practice, and that leap proves too much for tyro helmer Stephen Marshall's This Revolution.
06/28/05
Top CriticThe movie fails on nearly every level.
06/28/05
It's the kind of engaged, political filmmaking that is rarely seen today, and it's a welcome and powerful addition to the canon.
06/28/05
Director Stephen Marshall is more activist than film theorist, prone to editorializing ('I'm certainly not going to sacrifice profits,' one journalist character sneers) without the equivalent of Wexler's formal rigor.
