Convention Reviews
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
What Convention sets out to do, it does with understated candor.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A tediously dull, facile and lazy documentary that fails to engage viewers intellectually. It offers too many potatoes and not nearly enough meat.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Some of this is awfully pedestrian, but there are moments of both high comedy and high drama.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Cinma vrit? More like cinma banalit.
DCist
Ian Buckwalter
While Convention may be more traditional documentary fare in content than his last film, A.J. Schnack is not without a new trick up his sleeve: a collaborative documentary made with a group of documentarians, each with his/her own assignment.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Dogged, but anti-climactic cinema vérité tribute to the increasingly irrelevant quadrennial political show.
Metromix.com
Matt Pais
Ooh, will mayor's special assistant Chantal Unfug learn to ride a scooter? Will protestors spend less than half their time defending their right to protest?
Village Voice
Nicolas Rapold
The film's frustrating treatment is actually more like the local reporter who is shown struggling to stay in the loop.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Slickly produced but devoid of purpose, Convention tackles several storylines occurring at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
