The Square Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The camera becomes a revolutionary: running, chasing, breathlessly jittery, up in the face of interrogators.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Noujaim's film attests to how quickly joyous weeping in the streets gave way to sectarian arguments over the army's role and fissures in promising alliances.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Epitomizes nonfiction film not just as a way to deepen knowledge and understanding, but also as an art form.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A powerhouse documentary that takes us into the eyes of several storms.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
What does a revolution feel like from the inside? I'm not sure we'll ever get closer than "The Square," an electrifying, at times heartbreaking documentary from the Egypt-born, Harvard-educated documentarian Jehane Noujaim.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
"The Square" isn't a nuanced or complete view of Egyptian politics, but it's an enthralling view of fervent reformists, willing to go back to Tahrir as often as it takes.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
Shows the human stakes and often punishing difficulties of challenging entrenched powers and interests.
Film Comment Magazine
Amy Taubin
Brilliantly shot by Muhammad Hamdy, filled with passionate, articulate young activists.

Leonard Maltin
Jehane Noujaim's "The Square" is a riveting, eye-opening experience, told with empathy and immediacy.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
The Square understands that the Revolution itself is a work in progress, and while its immediacy means it, too, will soon be superseded, it stands as a vigorous, useful account.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"The Square" bears witness to history in an articulate, thoughtful and intensely dramatic way.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
"The Square" stands as a valuable document of a tormented time, an anatomy of a revolutionary movement doomed by a paucity of viable institutions, and by the movement's failure to advance a coherent agenda.
James on screenS
Caryn James
A galvanizing documentary with rare first-hand perspectives. With great immediacy, Noujaim provides a smart eye-opening view as activists maneuver toward an uncertain future.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Pulses with an immediacy that will leave you simultaneously enlightened and stunned.
The Dissolve
Tasha Robinson
While The Square isn't always cohesive, or even informative, it feels more honest than a more packaged story would be.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"The Square," while it records the gruesome collision of utopian aspirations with cold political realities, is not a despairing film.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Think of The Square as a bulletin from the front-one of many to come, in all likelihood.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
The Square moves quickly, its reams of raw footage complemented by fleet and skillful editing.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
The documentary brings calm insight to an impassioned, still-developing historic event, personalizing the dramatic developments without losing a sense of the greater stakes.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Ultimately, one of the principal appeals of the D.C.-born Egyptian-American filmmaker's documentary is its intimacy.
