Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Knappenberger argues that the case against Swartz was overzealously pursued in order to make an example of him and on the evidence presented here it's hard to disagree.

Observer (UK)
Rating: B --
I was hesitant about seeing this movie. I thought it was just another film glamorizing suicidal people. It turns out to be more of a celebration of the short, but incredibly productive life of Aron Swartz and the things he stood for.

Fascinating, maddening, and ultimately very sad.

Rating: 4/5 --
The sad untimely death of precocious internet maven Aaron Schwartz is the focus of this chilling doc.

Little White Lies
3 stars out of 5 -- [A] moving documentary that puts the blame for his death squarely on the unfeeling US authorities determined to make an example of him in this age of Snowden and WikiLeaks.
Total Film
4 stars out of 5 -- Powerful, smart and moving.
Empire
Rating: 3/4 --
The film not only canonizes its hero - who committed suicide amid a nasty federal indictment against him - but also brushes aside any big-picture concerns about national security and Internet piracy.
