Certainly very engaging
8 April 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I've seen this complex and absorbing documentary only once and feel I'll need to see it more times before I can really know how to feel about it.

It was certainly involving and thought-provoking but also a bit frustrating in that many of the quotes from Arendt's works and correspondence seemed a bit too truncated (brief or lacking in context) to be understood well.

I couldn't help feeling a longer version of the film would have provided the opportunity for a fuller presentation of her ideas.

Still this was a very interesting film and at least gave me some sense for the life and work of Arendt.

I'm rather hoping the writer/director will use the opportunity of the eventual DVD release of the documentary to flesh out more fully some of Arendt's chief ideas by means of a good audio commentary or other extras.
