2/4
Goldberg acknowledges that the film’s power is in its exclusive cast sharing their personal experiences. But his film fails to realize that it, too, is a player in platforming an already undefeated beast. Go to Full Review
Alise Chaffins MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack) 1d
3.5/5
Goldberg interviews countless politicians, political strategists, and newspeople...to show how the strategy of stirring up racial fear has been used to divide and conquer for decades in an effective and chilling story of political manipulation. Go to Full Review
Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) 1d
Plays like a fire alarm pulled after the building has already burned down. It’s not up to date. Its thesis and arguments are easy and obvious. And the film fails to get that today, the real issue is the Americans being led, not the pipers leading them. Go to Full Review
