J. Hoberman The New York Review of Books D'Souza is loath to give offense to what he seemingly regards as America's dominant culture. Indeed, one might just as easily interpret the entirety of 2016 as evidence of D'Souza over-compensation with regards to his feeling of post-colonial... Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice The film is a sleepy dud, a polemic that, like D'Souza himself, is at once both outrageous and deeply boring. Aug 31, 2012 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post The movie seems destined to irritate the president's supporters while mobilizing his detractors, even as it is doomed to win precious few converts. It's a textbook example of preaching to the choir. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 31, 2012 Full Review Megan Basham WORLD Segments dealing with the college-age Obama's political activities and his later involvement with domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers are... valid and illuminating territory for viewers who haven't heard these things before. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy This is neither printing the facts nor printing the legend: it's printing the flop sweat. Rated: 3/10 Jul 4, 2015 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault "2016: Obama's America" comes to seem like clownish alarmist speculation taking place in an echo chamber of talking heads.

Thomas H The movie was all made up things by the producer known by the people as the Indian A$$. Don’t waste your time on a movie that was made for political motives only. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Eric T Excellent, just like everything Dinesh D'Souza makes! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review Peter It is not a documentary, but a well crafted political advertisement Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Keaton W The man who divided a nation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/21 Full Review Audience Member An honest look at the Obama administration Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie!
