Los Angeles Times Critic’s Pick
 
So explosive, it’s one of the most riveting films you’ll see this year. ” – Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
 
Whether you think Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor, you should see the riveting documentary CITIZENFOUR.” -Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
 
Poitras shows us history as it happens, scenes of such intimate momentousness that the movie’s a must-see piece of work… ” – Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice
 
In January 2013, Laura Poitras (recipient of the 2012 MacArthur Genius Fellowship and co-recipient of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service) was several years into making a film about surveillance in the post-9/11 era when she started receiving encrypted e-mails from someone identifying himself as “citizen four,” who was ready to blow the whistle on the massive covert surveillance programs run by the NSA and other intelligence agencies.   In June 2013, she and Glenn Greenwald (a reporter for The Guardian) flew to Hong Kong for the first of many meetings with the man who turned out to be Snowden.   She brought her camera with her.   The film that resulted from this series of tense encounters is absolutely sui generis in the history of cinema: a 100% real-life thriller unfolding minute by minute before our eyes.
