"There's no human microphone, but the distended scenes of radical planning meetings get at the logistics, principles, and painstaking crosstalk of social protest movements in a way that's rarely captured on film; that some of the weapons (political props?) come from a radical theater troupe recalls Rivette's investigations into the conspiracies of open-ended experimental theater, and reminds us, as does Occupy Wall Street, of the essential performative—perhaps even propagandistic—nature of social protest."
