Matt Fagerholm RogerEbert.com A documentary that chillingly illustrates the decline not only of democracy but of moral leadership in America. Rated: 3/4 Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times [A] thorough, chilling rabbit-hole inquiry ... Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times It's a lot to take in, as names and numbers zip by, yet missing some of its points may be healthy. To explore every moment is to risk overdosing on outrage. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Tom Beasley Flickering Myth It's two hours of outrage and bafflement that illustrates just how deep the rabbit hole goes -- or at least how deep it is believed to go. Rated: 3/5 Aug 16, 2020 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times The overall depth of information and insight is impressive and consistently compelling. Rated: 4/5 Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia Succeeds and suffers by the sheer weight of its substantiation. An impressive achievement but one which is ultimately unlikely to lead to change. Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Dan F If you had real "fact checkers" (using the communists terminology) to fact check this movie and put it in a percentage, it would be something like 95% false lies and would then have to be correctly labeled a fantasy mockumentary. I am neither Democrat nor Republican but this film was clearly made by far left unstable Democrat/communists. It's not even worth watching if you just want to laugh. Save yourself the time and braincells and watch something that is actually unbiased, or at least tries to be. Utter garbage. I would give it negative stars if that were possible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie did not age well; one word- debunked. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I was hoping to see some neutral opinions but 5 minutes was enough to see who are the speakers. The most prejudiced Ms. Clinton, who was using Russia in her campaign. Someone told her personally Putin wants to be the richest person, he wants to be the tzar? All this sounds so naive. Then they found some Dr. Alina Polyakova, who was born in USSR, more particular in Ukraine and it says it all. John Maccain, no comment. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member this should be required viewing before the election. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review dave d An enlightening and harrowing documentary, "Active Measures" takes some big name interviews from Hillary Clinton and John McCain (and many others) and connects the dots to the Russian influence in United States elections and why the President may have been compromised. It's an establishment piece, but I happen to think it's based in truth. There is way too much smoke for their to be no fire. This is going to be viewed as "Fake News" by right wing and impeachment worthy by the far left and it comes out at a time the President is running a cabinet in total disarray despite most of the interviews being done a couple of years before the release of the film. Does that mean it's all true? Of course not. Where does the precise truth lie? We'll never know. Final Score: 8.6/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member There are so many inaccurate statements in this documentary it comes across as satire. 🤡🌍 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
