An engrossing, transportive experience, but more importantly, it's a galvanizing one. The film's greatest victory isn't simply that it makes you feel like you're in Tahrir Square; it's that it makes you want to be there.

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.

What does a revolution feel like from the inside? I'm not sure we'll ever get closer than "The Square," an electrifying, at times heartbreaking documentary from the Egypt-born, Harvard-educated documentarian Jehane Noujaim.

Rating: 4/5 --
A beautiful and electric documentary that captures so vividly both the rapture at the heart of the Tahrir Square protests of 2011 and the sense of betrayal that followed.

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]

If the resulting film is unwieldy - five editors, five "additional editors," and six assistant editors are credited - it also brims with angry urgency.
