This high-profile... documentary about the Cambridge Analytica scandal is... frequently gripping, gorgeous to watch, occasionally thought-provoking, always entertaining and yet, ultimately, a tiny bit vapid. Jul 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

An intentionally disturbing examination of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, it both explains and offers a warning shot about the misuse of personal data and how that influenced past elections and might well do so in the future. Jul 24, 2019 | Full Review…

It is, admittedly, a lot to process. Yet at the very least, this sobering documentary should make anybody who clears two hours to watch it want to learn more, to be more skeptical about what finds its way into one's inbox. Jul 24, 2019 | Full Review…

The Great Hack worked best as a prologue to a looming crisis that should be of concern to us all: how can electoral laws be deemed fit for purpose when democratic processes are at the mercy of apparently unaccountable, amoral tech giants? Jul 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The Great Hack isn't necessarily an examination of Cambridge Analytica and how it exploited us. It's about once-normal people who are corrupted by the greater evil. Jan 16, 2020 | Full Review…

All of which is sobering, and you would hope it makes viewers think twice about not insisting on better data protections and rights. Sep 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Great Hack is an important film, one that people need to see, but its account of the Cambridge Analytica operation scarcely touches the shady world of the billionaire oligarchs who are the real financial and political forces behind the scenes. Aug 30, 2019 | Full Review…
