Separated Reviews
Nonfics
Christopher Campbell
A new documentary from Errol Morris is always worthy of being showcased, even if Separated is not among his very best.
indieWire
Christian Blauvelt
Watching Errol Morris's urgent reminder of a documentary -- possibly the most enraging film yet made by a director who's certainly known how to illuminate infuriating topics over the past 45 years -- will raise your blood pressure considerably.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Matthew Carey
It's an incisive account of how the policy was devised and implemented, and for what purpose.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A powerful wake-up call. Provocative, well-edited and eye-opening.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Instead, the slats in the wall and the zoetrope made me think of the light that Morris fails to let in here, from the people on the fringes of American society who could really bring Separated to life.
Next Best Picture
Ema Sasic
What's clear with "Separated" is that Morris doesn't want viewers to lose their empathy toward this issue and wants people to stay outraged, even if they're not hearing about it in the press anymore.
Variety
Peter Debruge
"Separated" finds Morris back in "The Fog of War" mode: angry, engaged and determined to expose an injustice too monumental to be ignored.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
White's fire, and his soaring warnings about how political sycophants willing to effect a policy like family separation will always exist, are powerful enough.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Nonetheless, what we glean from the totality of the interviews and research, and Morris' well-honed style of coalescing information, is damning enough.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
"Separated" is characteristically thorough and eye-opening.
The Jacobin
Eileen Jones
Even if Morris's imaginative powers as a filmmaker are ossifying, the subject matter here is so harshly immediate it overcomes the way his formal inventiveness has become formulaic.
The SS Ben Hecht
Stephen Silver
It's a worthwhile film, featuring testimony by some of the people involved, although it doesn't have quite the same oomph as the best of Morris' work
Arts Fuse
Peter Keough
Separated is a compelling, urgent, and essential examination of an ongoing injustice (over 1300 children remain separated today, according to the Department of Homeland Security) that every American should see and ponder before going to the polls.
AwardsWatch
Cody Dericks
Separated is an alarming, upsetting, and stirring look at one of the darkest chapters in American history. It demands to be seen, not just to pay tribute to those hurt by this policy, but to remind audiences that it very well could happen again.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Morris' moments of recreation feel unnecessary given the gravitas of the testimony, memos and e-mails on display, but this is another very necessary reminder of the evils perpetrated by the Trump administration that plays like a prologue to the sequel.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
The resulting film is informative but not particularly engaging, blending interviews with an arguably unnecessary fictionalized depiction of a Guatemalan mother and son's border crossing.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Still, current events lend the film a power that goes beyond its flaws. The way "Separated" looks back in indignation is now incalculably enhanced by fear for the future, with even more traumatizing measures on the horizon...
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
It's illuminating in the most chilling way.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This time Morris' approach is, understandably, less observant and more pressing.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A shocking documentary tracing the history of the separation of refugee and migrant families at the U.S. border.
