Assange is right to be displeased with how he is portrayed, but contrary to the criticism, I found the movie to be supportive of the mission of WikiLeaks, attentive to the revelations themselves, and quite thought-provoking for young audiences who could be turned onto investigative journalism. Hopefully a few million people will see this and joint the fight against censorship, lying governments and corporate "news" that spins stories to favor government perspectives. Not a bad film at all.
