“Unnerving…A real life thriller” – The Hollywood Reporter
“From its very first moments, Antidote unspools like a propulsive thriller. Director James Jones’ galvanizing documentary moves at a fast speed to tell its high-stakes story about Vladimir Putin’s Russia, contemporary investigative journalism and the people who put their lives in jeopardy” – Variety
“I doubt I’ll see a better or more important documentary this year than Antidote. Every single second is absolutely riveting.” – Aisle Seat
“A story that demands to be heard.” – Roger Ebert
Winner of Best Editing in a Feature Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival 2024
Jury statement:
“At this difficult moment in the world’s history – we commend the filmmakers and editors ability to craft a narrative with clarity and urgency – and to ring alarm bells for the consequences of vicious attacks on journalists. For its crisp and compelling narrative.”
