Critics' reviews

"[An] anecdotal, disturbing, but far from definitive documentary (...) 'Spiral' is an informative documentary, but I wish it were a more meticulously crafted one"

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"The specter of French anti-semitism needs a smarter film than 'Spiral' (...) Fairrie’s unfocused examination of anti-Semitism illuminates little"

Simon Abrams: Village Voice
"The upshot of the film is a little murky, which is the risk of such a diffuse, dialectical approach (...) 'Spiral' is best in smaller-bore moments"

Ben Kenigsberg: The New York Times
