8/10
A good documentary with awful CGI

While I really appreciate the fact that Brett Morgen decided to include animation in this excellent documentary (Specially considering how under-appreciated is the animated medium, even in the recent years)I am not sure about the animation technique used on it:

The CGI used on this film to re-enact court scenes is just awful. The characters look like they were borrowed from Sim City, with expressionless faces and robotic movements. Also the shiny (and unappealing) colors used on it makes a sharp contrast with the seriousness of the live-action parts.

However, despite that, I really enjoyed this documentary. It was very interesting to watch from the beginning until the end. Also, the original way in which this documentary was directed made it a worth-watching, poignant experience that not even the ugly CGI could ruin.
