Citizenfour

I learned that I was not really intrested in Snowden.

Poitras is a trusted source of Snowden's, and one of Citizenfour's great strengths is just how close we get to the action. We see Snowden before the leaks even take place, before anyone had even heard of him. Journalists meet him and discuss the story for the first time. It's intriguing to see how it all went down.

Tremendous footage of a very important event. Still manages to feel almost like an art film at times. Such a great film.

The subject itself is interesting, however personally I found the documentary itself to be incredibly boring. It's almost entirely Snowden sitting in a hotel room talking about the NSA spying.
