"As riveting as it is dizzying, Schroeder's documentary thriller takes a mesmerising
ad hominem
approach to twentieth century terror, offering up for our judgement an advocate whose views ought to be indefensible."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
"Though the film comes with a warning that it expresses only the point of view of its director, in reality, what Schroeder seems to offer is a portrait of a glib man who simply defies any conclusive description."

"
Terror's Advocate
elucidates the character and defense mechanisms of a man much more complex and radical than the George Bushes of the world."

Cole Smithey
"If Terror's Advocate doesn't precisely interrogate the rise of terrorism, it does look at its romance and consider its effectiveness."

2/4
"Scarcely an exposé,
Terror's Advocate
is more plainly a portrait of a man as a timeline."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
3.5/5
"This fascinating documentary is sort of like a radical left-wing "Where's Waldo?""

"[I]ntriguing enough, if a bit dry. But then a flick that seemed newsy, almost wonky, turns riveting..."

3/4
"A brilliantly shrewd and maddeningly elusive figure, controversial lawyer Jacques Vergès alternately fascinates and repulses in Barbet Schroeder's gripping documentary."
