Fong Kok Hoong F Captured in real time, director Alexander Nanau follows sports journalist Cătălin Tolontan and a newly-minted Minister of Health Vlad Voiculescu down the rabbit hole into the heart of corruption at Romanian healthcare system in this disturbingly hard-hitting nominee for both Documentary Feature and International Feature at the 93rd Academy Awards. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely astonishing display of the importance of investigative journalism and the utter betrayal a government can commit on its citizens. With an attention to detail and a sense of pacing and narrative similar to the drama Spotlight, Collective is as thrilling as it is devastating. A must watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Tony S A relevant issue how system polices the system itself, prevailing mutually assured corruption. Displaying almost inhuman levels of faceless cynicism, with no actual political grandstanding or "experts" talking directly into camera. This of course, doesn't prevent a certain part of the world to immediately project, long hauled corruption in the Eastern Europe onto their own dissatisfaction with their government, pretending it's the same thing because "if it can't be about me, it might as well doesn't exist". Good job America. What should be immensely admired is director's transparent insight into both news room and ministry cabinet, especially, when you consider the clash of interest this would cause, since it all was happening simultaneously. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/21 Full Review david f This documentary focuses mostly on a corruption scandal involving disinfectants sold to hospitals by a Romanian chemical company in the wake of a deadly club fire that led to protests and the fall of a government. It is very fly-on-the-wall without much background beyond the minimum but it is quite riveting and very interesting. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Heartbreaking and insightful Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review tom e Compelling investigation of corruption following a tragic fire in Romania but could easily have taken place in many countries including the Untied States. Remember that journalists have uncovered many governmental and corporate crimes against us, we the people. I have always enjoyed this theme from All the King's Men to Spotlight.
