“Convincing! … fascinating… certainly packs a punch! [...] Moser mixes straight-to-camera interviews with well-chosen newsreel and archive film, overlaid by a foreboding soundtrack. [...] Evokes the work of Errol Morris”

“With the ferociously intelligent and committed Binney at its centre, the film is a fascinating, sometimes jaw-dropping account of gifted individuals thwarted by self-serving superiors, with tragic results. [...] In a tragic way, the latest atrocity makes the documentary “A Good American” even more timely. [...] For many it will make upsetting viewing.“

"A Good American unfolds an incredible and thoughtful story of the US National Security Agency. [...] With tasteful aesthetics A Good American is as exciting as a well-made thriller....extremely cinematic. [...] The message is scary: NSA monitors to make money - not to protect... A terrific and well-oiled documentary... It is important, has a lot of weight and perspectives far beyond its own borders.“

"A Good American ... does make for a deeply complementary companion to Citizenfour. [...] A Good American proves a detailed and trenchant depiction of a passage of U.S. history Americans should be intimately aware of. Sadly, at this point in time, scarce few of them are." - Robert A. Stribley
