Blinded by his ego, acting like the captain of the Bounty, Genoves apparently never realized the experiment was valuable and was yielding interesting if surprising results. Jun 28, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A document, as well as a documentary, of genuine consequence. The news is surprising, and pretty darned good. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review…

Favored with copious amounts of footage shot during the voyage, as well as Genovés' collected data and writings, Lindeen forged a riveting and illuminating study of the unscrupulous endeavor. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review…

You wonder why The Raft hasn't been turned into a drama yet, since it's got everything: a high-concept premise, big ideas, conflict, base urges, twists, action, and a diverse cast in which looking good with little on is historically accurate. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review…

This is such a uniquely bizarre story that it can't help but exert a certain fascination. But it's hard to avoid the feeling that it would have been better served by a compelling dramatization rather than this too-dry documentary. Jun 7, 2019 | Full Review…

This is a science experiment from 1973 that nearly 50 years later holds every ounce of its initial intrigue. An anthropological time capsule. Jul 15, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

This will understandably be disappointing to some, but for those in the market for something that plays with assumptions to tell a story of people coming to terms with their shared past, The Raft is a very rewarding watch. Jul 3, 2019 | Full Review…

The Raft ... revives the journey and the memories in a way that seems shockingly relevant at a time when no one on earth seems to get along. Jun 28, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Director Marcus Lindeen richly intersperses these staged interviews with archival footage filmed during the journey, as the documentary itself becomes an experiment in memory-making and revelation. Jun 17, 2019 | Full Review…
