All the Beauty and the Bloodshed

Synopsis

“Poitras hasn’t embraced the usual journalistic norms in directing this documentary. She has a point of view, she has passion, she has politics, and there never was any danger of her both-siding this raw, emotionally ferocious story, one that she continues to remake with her brilliance and with all the bruises that never heal.” —Manohla Dargis, New York Times
