“Riveting! A straight-ahead, enthralling story of moral courage. This story changed the world.
The movie offers one revelatory interview after another. CRITICS’ PICK!”
– David Edelstein, New York magazine

“A Must-See! Crams a wealth of material into 90 minutes without losing clarity or momentum.
Focuses on (Ellsberg’s) moral turnaround, which directly impacted history. A unique fusion of personal and social drama.”
– Ronnie Scheib, Variety

“The most exciting thriller I’ve seen in a while… as powerful as anything Hollywood can throw at us.”
– V.A. Musetto, New York Post

“The essential new documentary. A profile that works as both a biographical portrait of a man marked by personal tragedy…
and a study in belated conscience… Henry Kissinger unwittingly lends the doc its title.“
– Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

“Gripping! Almost seismic drama. A classic whistleblower tale.”
– Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly online

“Ellsberg deserves every ounce of hero worship he gets here.”
– David Fear, Time Out New York

“Detailed, clearly told, persuasive” – Mike Hale, The New York Times

“Earnest, smart, informative. The filmmakers do an astounding job relating how Ellsberg brought the Pentagon Papers (which laid out in plain language how the Pentagon
and White House had been lying through their teeth to the public about the war) to light. It’s a thrilling, journalistic drama, easily the equal of Deep Throat.”
– Chris Barsanti, The Hollywood Reporter
