Critic Reviews for Company Town

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (5)

"Company Town" won't change anyone's mind about the issues. It's aimed squarely at enemies - you know who you are - of what the film's production notes call "the new oligarchy of tech."

Bay Area documentary-makers Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman present a succinct and persuasive thesis.

David Lamble
Bay Area Reporter
The tense soundtrack and the rich visuals emphasize what's at stake-the city, even going through its ugly stage, certainly looks stunning.

Pacific Sun (San Rafael, CA)
Company Town celebrates grassroots process and energetic democracy. It may just be the finest political film of the year.

East Bay Express
The must-watch film reminds us, as the next election nears, that San Francisco is facing a moral crisis and that we need to be on the right side of it.
