The Great Hack's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
Anyone who says voting is a waste of time needs to watch this film.
New York Times
If the paranoia level could probably withstand a slight reduction, much of the movie feels utterly credible.
The Hollywood Reporter
The Great Hack uses a decent rehash of the Cambridge Analytica scandal as the starting point for an interesting two-pronged character study, an instigation for provocative ideas about data crime and what is ultimately a really, really, really conflicted look at when it's terrifying having corporations learning things about our online habits and when it's cool.
Rolling Stone
You know you?re in the hands of professionals here ? Noujaim was a director or co-director on such solid nonfiction works as "Startup.com" (2001), "Control Room" (2004), and "The Square" (2013) ? even if the proceedings sometimes come off like Muckraking Moviemaking 101.
The Playlist
It?s a sign of how quickly it feels like the world is being torn apart around us that even a ripped-from-the-headlines documentary, such as Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim?s The Great Hack, can feel almost dated.
The A.V. Club
There?s no satisfying end point to this movie (which premiered at Sundance as a 135-minute work in progress; over 20 minutes have since been trimmed), which reaches its alarmist conclusion quite early on and then functions more as a frustratingly sporadic video diary.
