At once downbeat and claustrophobic, it's also often grueling to watch.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
As that description suggests, the film winds up a rather grim, often indulgent muddle. But it's also undeniably compelling.

The result, Chronicling a Crisis, is an admittedly harrowing exercise in solipsism that will be of little interest to anyone besides the director's diehard fans and perhaps his therapist.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Alternately tedious and illuminating, this deeply honest and scattered movie revels in its lack of purpose.
There's little reason to see the claustrophobic Chronicling a Crisis unless you have a fascination with the Kolleks. Watching the vanity project is like being forced to sit through a friend's boring home movies.
