Rating: 3.5/4 --
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.
Denver Post
Rating: 4/4 --
Epitomizes nonfiction film not just as a way to deepen knowledge and understanding, but also as an art form.

Rating: 9.5/10 --
The Square is a shrewd application of cinéma vérité in the midst of mass communication and a sensible and thorough approach to the events that gave birth to the Arab Spring. [Full review in Spanish]

Código espagueti
No revolution has ever been filmed from the inside with such intimate detail and breathtaking scope. The footage is at times horrific and heartbreaking.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The camera becomes a revolutionary: running, chasing, breathlessly jittery, up in the face of interrogators.
Seattle Times
Rating: 3/4 --
If the resulting film is unwieldy - five editors, five "additional editors," and six assistant editors are credited - it also brims with angry urgency.
