The Bibi Files is an urgent journalistic exposé based on unseen leaked footage of police interrogations of the politician as well as his wife Sara and son Yair. The film explores the corruption cases that resulted in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's indictment on breach of trust, bribery, and fraud in 2019. Many Israelis believe that Netanyahu's attempts to delay his trial are key to understanding his current policies regarding war and the return of Israeli hostages.

It's never polemical... it just lays out the evidence, which I have to say, is pretty damning.

Alexis Bloom’s riveting film — whose producers include prolific documentarist Alex Gibney — is built around leaked footage of Netanyahu, his family and associates testifying to police.

This is not an easy movie to sit through. A lot of it seems repetitive and static. It is, however, a valuable documentary for those who want to understand Israel's government and the fighting in the Middle East.

4/10

Netanyahu is a corruptible force for evil, but this film would have you believe that he’s a mere aberration in a nation’s history rather than the logical result of its misdeeds and violent actions.

The Bibi Files is not just an expertly made investigation of Israel's most notorious head of state: it’s a Macbeth-like fable of a man punch-drunk on blind ambition; a penetrating study of a man corrupted and empowered by his violent addiction to power.
