Goodness, how does this happen? I saw Citizen Four back in November. I know that I did. I went with a group. It’s on my calendar. I saw it. But I never wrote about it. How does this happen?
But just now, watching the Oscars much past my bedtime, I recalled that I’d indeed seen it. And having just moved all of my reviews to this blog, I knew I hand’t moved any notes on that. And so I’ve very little here.
I know that I greatly enjoyed the film. I know it was incredibly interesting in its timeline as compared to current events. And I’ve no doubt that it deserved its Oscar. But I just don’t recall a great deal otherwise.
I blame Thanksgiving. Lesson learned: if I see a film while preparing for company, write about it immediately.
(I gave this four stars as it clearly was grand, but if I don’t recall much, it couldn’t have been that fantastic to me.)
