Review of Coup 53

Coup 53 (2019)
6/10
Fascinating subject presented broingly.
26 February 2022
While it is discussing a highly interesting and important subject and piece of history, it was presented quite dull, mundane, and frankly, boringly. Moments that stood out though were some odd choices of filmmaking that made the documentary as a whole felt like it was an amateur production at times. It did not command any serious attention and it did not have a sense of gravitas I was expecting.

However, despite my non-enjoyment, I did learn and gained quite a bit on the subject. The effort and work put into this was evident. The second or third half of the documentary was better produced and had a better sense of maturity to it.

If you're looking for a captivating and commanding documentary, I would direct you elsewhere. However, if you're looking for one about this specific topic, then go for it.
