Snowden (2016). My first Oliver Stone film, and the first I've seen starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, (who did a really great job with the role of Snowden). The film adds a much-needed emotional context to the stoic and disassociated presence of Snowden in Citizenfour. Definitely watch Citizenfour first if you haven't seen either film. The documentary presents the actual interview footage between Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, in which Snowden's unemotional delivery might seem cold or even sociopathic without the context of what caused him to build those walls. The central character in Citizenfour is the story of mass surveillance, as Snowden communicated clearly that he didn't want it to be about him. The 2016 film adds all the personal backstory to frame why he is the way he appears in the documentary.
Good stuff.
