Reflective Media Reviews

Citizen Four ****

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.)

Staying thoughtful?
