McCabe and his editor, Alyse Ardell Spiegel, sketch out a searing abbreviated history of the country, one of several flourishes distinguishing a film that's brisk in metabolism but rich in urgent incident. Nov 6, 2018 | Full Review…

There is much to admire here, but the sheer scope of the subject matter might be even better served by the capaciousness of a mini-series. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review…
