Chicago 10 Movie Review and Trailer
Animated film written and directed by Brett Morgen and tells the story of the Chicago Seven. First premiered January 18, 2007 at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. It later premiered at Silverdocs, the AFI/Discovery Channel Documentary Festival in Downtown Silver Spring
Chicago 10 is an interesting film about an interesting time in the lives of some interesting people, but you can’t shake the feeling that these real-life radicals might have been better served by a slightly less radical approach to telling their story
– cinematical –
He (Brett Morgen) takes the intricate, frequently self-contradictory theater of the New Left at face value, and panders to the credulity of the audience by breathing new life into old clichés. Groovy! Power to the people!

All of this is shown in an animated sequence done with motion-capture technology. The result is effective, though disconcerting, as the film cuts back and forth from footage of the actual Hoffman and a digital Hoffman, voiced by Hank Azaria, looking oddly robotic in a box-like courtroom. It has the effect of making the trial portion of the film seem surreal.
– calendarlive –
The movie stylishly portrays the story of the Chicago Seven with archival footage and animated sequences. Without reference to or retrospection from the present, Morgen crafts a film that is as pertinent as ever
