Active Measures is a decent documentary filled with a lot of useful information for those who really haven't been keeping up with the deep dive into the facts associated with whole tRump Russia story. It is full of important info for people to know. Everyone in congress should be forced to watch it.
Stylistically, the interviews are filmed a little too simply, subject looking off camera, simple lighting, same medium shots, looking left, looking right, etc. nothing very unique or creative about the way it was filmed. Boring.
The editing style is also pretty straight forward. Not really creative (except when they add graphics) Way too much talking head, archive, talking head, archive, etc. back and forth. Almost always the same pacing.. regardless of what's going on story-wise.
The info graphics/animations were really good but used too sparingly. When in doubt next time... more graphics. People love graphics and information, and they were done very well
Now for the bad part... I found 90% of the music to be terrible. They really didn't use music to create any sense of drama. It seems really random, almost like they added a lot of it it after it was already edited. Sometimes, the music was so wrong it was distracting. The bottom line is that it's just not good music, or good use of music.
Don't get me wrong, I think people should watch this movie. I still think it deserves a 7 because of the info it contains. I just think it could've use another editing pass (that includes how you use music folks) and been more creative in its presentation
Watch it. Spread the information it contains. Put the pressure on your representatives to make the tRump administration pay for the crimes
