J. Hoberman The New York Review of Books 03/07/2019
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...

The film is a sleepy dud, a polemic that, like D'Souza himself, is at once both outrageous and deeply boring. Go to Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 08/31/2012
1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Megan Basham WORLD 06/19/2018
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. Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy 07/04/2015
3/10
This is neither printing the facts nor printing the legend: it's printing the flop sweat. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 12/17/2012

Thomas H 09/03/2024 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. See more Keaton W 06/29/2021 The man who divided a nation. See more 02/26/2021 An honest look at the Obama administration See more 10/14/2020 Great movie! Everyone should watch this movie! See more jona i 06/16/2020 Has its intelligence and imagination; though, leans more toward its imagination as it fills in the blanks by concocting fearful conspiracy theories. In many ways, its quality is student, at best. Its facts aren't wrong! The reasoning behind the facts is where there's a speculated stretch. And neither were the future projections completely wrong, especially about the national debt. What it does do extraordinarily well, and should be seen as its bottom line, is call attention to the need to truly understanding our most powerful leaders: read what resources we can (Obama's own books, in his case; news articles). Inform ourselves! Don't blindly trust a political party, social movement, or any smokescreen/flow proposed by a mass group. See more 09/04/2019 Very well documented film and it really gets into a lot of the details. It's worth a watch and it will make you want to do some research. See more Read all reviews
