In the end, the political confusions of Salles's movie, which seem all of a piece with the political confusions of that era, sit small beside its achievement as a document of an incendiary time. Apr 27, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The combination of archival bounty with Salles' touching analysis has a hypnotic effect, serving up the past plus reflection, garnished with a resonant melancholy about the ebb and flow of uprisings. Apr 19, 2018 | Full Review…

Moreira Salles's found-footage study of revolutionaries in the streets of Paris, Prague, and other countries in 1968 would stand as an invaluable assemblage simply on the basis of its archival finds alone. Jan 31, 2018 | Full Review…

Salles raises the point that we do not always observe political nuance in our everyday lives in the present-food for thought and another factor in his astute analysis of the personal and psychological nature of revolution. Feb 28, 2019 | Full Review…

The ultimate rejection of the movement - or, less fantastically, the mere 'moving on' of the people - is a frightening sting in the tail to recognise in this 50-years-later moment of societal unrest. Jun 20, 2018 | Full Review…
