Sovereign Reviews

Less entertaining, more educational. At the centre of this film is a reality that many of us would rather ignore than confront, out of fear or helplessness. The older I get, the more I realise how relevant the subject matter really is. We follow two fathers on opposite ends of the same spectrum (Quaid and Offerman), fighting for different ideologies: 'Government vs. The People.' The director wants us to question the rights and wrongs of both sides, and witnessing it firsthand, the corruption is very subtle yet extremely unnerving. The runtime was a little long, but the emotional punch was loaded, like watching a Venn diagram seamlessly collide into one.

Offerman really shows his chops. Same with Tremblay. Wild as hell true crime drama. Shot and edited very well, the atmospheric moments land with gravity. Worth a watch to be sure.

Nick Offerman does such a great job in this movie and is so believable in the role. The relationship between him and his son is so hard to watch, but that makes part of the charm of the movie. It’s a very slow movie but it needs to be because you’re getting the backstory of why they are who they are and that’s important in this case. It’s a tough watch for sure but it’s a good one.

jacob tremblay and nick offerman are why i watched, other than them it was a nothing burger

Wouldn’t watch it again, but it was good.

Ron Swanson’s scariest role.

6.9/10 pretty much hated this movie but it was entertaining enough. The message it seems to put out sucks where it’s basically showing how influential our upbringing and our parents can be. Which I’m good with, but it just shows in the end how both sons were killed?

6/10

Nick Offerman and Jacob Tremblay do such a fantastic job it makes you feel so bad for this kid in how he’s raised. It’s honestly a hard watch. It’s more for people who don’t know anything about the “Sovereign Citizen” movement as it’s not that in depth. Worth the watch though.

Excellent movie. Well acted. Absolutely tragic.

Good acting

Oh my. What a film.

Nick Offerman was absolutely incredible.

The 10 year time lapse between Room and this for Tremblay is astounding. He may not look like americas angel child, but holy hell the kid can ACT

8.0/10

murked on the first day of work is crazy. the concept of sovereign citizens is such wps. im so surprised tremblay isnt in more stuff. he's grown so much since the last live action movie i saw, 2019's doctor sleep

This is a rough watch especially being based of true events. I’m all for fighting for what you believe in, but loss of life isn’t worth it.

Well directed. Well acted. Could feel the emotions. Probably want to watch x a comedy after this one.

Yikes

heavy watch

Could’ve been better. It has an interesting idea but let down by the script and directing.
