Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jessica Yu offers an unusual look at the simultaneous diversity and commonality of four very different men in this documentary. In Protagonist, Yu recalls the structural format of the ancient Greek playwright Euripides -- whose stories were often marked by human tragedy, the commentary of a chorus of independent observers, and the sudden and unexpected intervention of the divine -- as she chronicles the lives of a thief, a student of martial arts, a preacher who has renounced his past as a homosexual, and a political terrorist. Protagonist was screened in competition as part of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie Protagonist
Many will be moved by Protagonist and its reminders that we are all struggling to find versions of ourselves to live up to.Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune
At first, the technique seems gimmicky, but finally it's as compelling a perspective as any to understand how these men passed through agony to some sort of peace.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
Yu's film may be challenging to synopsize, but it's thoroughly engrossing and wildly surprising.
Carina Chocano-Los Angeles Times
None of the talking heads is as interesting as [director] Yu thinks they are; and it's difficult to build sympathy for any of them.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
While [director] Yu's experimental approach brings valuable insight to the human condition, the interviews themselves too rarely measure up to her ambitious structure.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
Protagonist is an enthralling documentary exploration of people with obsessive needs for control and self-mastery.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
[Jessica Yu] combines the interviews with such skill that themes begin to emerge, a tangled thicket of men seeking to define themselves through strength, discipline and self-transformation.
Robert Davis-Paste Magazine
Truly artistic documentary about 4 men who led life at the edge and came back from the brink.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
fascinating, troubling, and scathingly brilliant in both concept and execution
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
... far more thought-provoking and engrossing than the usual run of flatly journalistic docs.
Andy Klein-Los Angeles CityBeat
Perhaps Yu's greatest achievement was finding four individuals with equal passion about and insight into their own journeys, and thereby demonstrating that all lives are fascinating when properly examined.
Bob Strauss-Los Angeles Daily News
Stepped up in edginess from the Errol Morris template, Yu's Greek tragedy of modern extremists weaves four disturbing stories into a cautionary tale in step with the times
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
It's a particularly elegantly made film, with sharp lensing by cinematographers Russell Harper and Karl Hahn.
David Noh-Film Journal International
Suffers for the same reasons that a lot of 'issue' documentaries are problematic -- it is way too heavy-handed, only in style and concept rather than preachiness.
Christopher Campbell-Cinematical
...an audacious and remarkably assured documentary that weaves together four seemingly unrelated portraits of four contemporary men whose very different lives follow the course of Euripidean drama.
Ken Fox-TV Guide's Movie Guide
Proves so savvy at connecting the hidden dots between eclectic subjects that even the puppets seem human.
Geoff Berkshire-Metromix.com
The film bears the mark of a real directorial talent, eager to push the documentary form in inventive directions, just like Errol Morris and Werner Herzog, and for that alone, it deserves a nod of appreciation.
Noel Murray-AV Club
