It takes time to absorb, and invites repeated, obsessive watching. ... Mr. Morris presents a powerful historical argument in the guise of a beguiling work of cinematic art--and vice versa.
On a purely narrative level, Wormwood is consistently gripping and eye-opening, but what truly elevates it to the realm of greatness is Morris’ boundary-pushing storytelling approach. ... Redefining what a documentary can do and be.
Wormwood is not merely a Greatest Hits; it’s a fascinating piece of filmmaking that challenges the form in new ways as it recalls themes its director has been interested in his entire career.
With Wormwood, he [Errol Morris] never promises to wrap up the mystery of Frank Olson’s death in a neat little package. It’s a son’s journey to find closure that makes this absorbing, if not slightly paranoid, series worth your time.
As the vice tightens through the elder Olson’s death and the aftermath, both the narrative drama and, even more, the story of the survivors’ quest for the truth accelerate, making the power of Morris’ distinctive approach fully felt; having come this far, it will be hard for viewers to pull themselves away during the second half of this epic.
A mildly intriguing if somewhat overwrought docu-series for Netflix
Wormwood, ultimately, is a wildly overblown embarrassment to Morris' reputation.
