Reviews
A gripping, thought-provoking film that works as both a thriller and a social document.
British director Robert Stone takes a dispassionate look at this circus, and his retelling of events makes the situation more complicated than I remembered.
The footage is astonishing, revealing the events of 30 years ago and some scary truths about where the world is today.
A mostly compelling and exceedingly fair-minded look back at the case.
Fine as far as it goes -- a worthy lesson in counter-culture history and the rise of media hysteria.
Younger audiences will receive the kind of modern-history lesson that's never taught in school.
Guerrilla is so dull that it almost makes you wonder what was all the fuss about the Symbionese Liberation Army.
Sometimes a documentary is only as good as the interviews the filmmaker gets. ... [and] those who could provide insight to Hearst's ordeal are either dead or not talking.
To misquote Buffalo Springfield, something was happening here; what it was ain't exactly clear.
Unlike the recent Weather Underground, which dealt with another group of '60s radicals and showed us where they are today, Guerrilla is content with the surface of this story.
A meticulous and often fascinating reconstruction of a chaotic time.
