Reviews

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
It’s a sober account of police militarization in the 21st century that, no matter one’s stance on the matter, makes a brutal statement.

The Playlist - Andrew Crump
If Atkinson’s presentation is just a hair above “competent,” it does the job of exposing the corroded heart of American policing.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
An assured doc debut that knows how to stand out in a crowded field, Craig Atkinson's Do Not Resist avoids the handwringing format of other (very welcome) examinations of 21st-century American policing, offering instead something like a despairing tone poem.
80
TheWrap - Sam Fragoso
It’s not groundbreaking cinema, but Do Not Resist effectively begins (and furthers) this ongoing conversation about the escalating police state, racial profiling, and beyond.
75
Slant Magazine - Jesse Cataldo
Director Craig Atkinson's documentary explicates its points with blunt but persuasive efficiency.
