Who is Alex Jones? Is he a dangerous lunatic or a patriotic hero? Does he even believe the things he says? From beloved Austin local radio host, to outspoken critic of presidents Bush, Clinton, and Obama, to a national figure espousing incendiary conspiracy theories about 9/11, Sandy Hook, and the New World Order through his media platform, Infowars, to his instrumental role in the protests leading up to and including January 6th, Alex's War is an unprecedented close examination of this guarded, mythic figure, and the story of the fracturing of the great American narrative--through the eyes of this man who helped break it. Building around Jones's first ever independent long-form interviews, behind-the-scenes footage from his studio and rallies, and full access to the Infowars archives, acclaimed director Alex Lee Moyer traces the twenty-five year rollercoaster of a career that brings him to the winter of 2020 and a monstrously manic election--a moment Jones sees not just as the culmination of his lifelong mission, but the decisive point in the fate of humanity.

C-

The total reliance on Jones makes it a thoroughly one-sided affair, and viewers are advised to look elsewhere for some much-needed balance.

2/5

Is worthwhile for the perspective it shows on Jones' career and his changing relationship with the political right, but ultimately misses the forest for the trees.

Alex’s War’s archival approach is ultimately nothing special... [but] a predictable culture war cycle surrounding it has spun once again. The film is both more and less interesting than this built-in reaction.

I like hearing the truth about what is going on. Too much Hollywood bs and lying politics and fake news media in this world.

Great Movie, put the media's bias against Alex into focus and shows the struggle of Alex to keep telling the truth despite the barrage of attacks against him. History will remember Alex as a hero for giving his life to this cause
