THE BATTLE OVER
CITIZEN KANE

1996 ***1/2 113 mins.

This Oscar-nominated documentary is highly unsatisfying. While it provides a lot of very interesting information regarding Orson Welles, Citizen Kane, and Randolph William Hearst, it is very bland and ordinary in its approach. The information it depicts, though, does help it to hold up and maintain the viewer's interest for its entire duration.
