There's no doubt that D'Souza loves America, but he loves it much in the same way that we all do: According to a map of his own design. Go to Full Review

"America" would be simply annoying if it were just preaching to the choir; what makes it unendurable is the fact that D'Souza and Sullivan can't craft a sermon that would keep even the choir awake, interested, and entertained. Go to Full Review
Louis Black Austin Chronicle 07/06/2014
This is an unusually odious effort because it is so hugely hypocritical and ultimately self-serving. Go to Full Review
Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine 01/24/2023
America is predictably atrociously crafted, with marginal actors reedily declaiming Lincoln’s speeches and many shots of the co-writer/director/presenter demonstrating how American he is... Go to Full Review

A heinously inflammatory propaganda piece that gives the documentary form and even-minded conservatives bad names, "America: Imagine the World Without Her" boils down to 105 minutes of uneducated ignorance. Go to Full Review

Hello I 11/09/2024 I hate Dinesh D'Poop See more 11/17/2021 I am the first generation of my family and this grew my love for the country I was born in. Thank you. See more 02/26/2021 Don't let the rabid anti-Americanism out there fool you. Let's face it, the world would be worse off without the US being the world leader. Educate yourself about the US and give it a watch See more 10/14/2020 Another great movie by Dinesh! Again, everyone should watch to see what an immigrant sees about our Great America! See more 12/09/2019 A wonderful take on our beautiful country and how it's so underappreciated. The liberals don't understand...no, they don't care. SO pleased I watch this! See more 11/11/2019 An extremely necessary documentary among many that only detract the US. Taking a look at the negative (AKA experts) reviews: almost all tend to attack the one that like the movie or the author 1. Dinesh direct the movie accordingly to "...a map of his own design". Is it means that he thinks with his own brain? 2. Another suggested that the audience felt asleep. This statement is very strange, since the rotting itself shows that 84% of the audience gave high marks! Imagine the notes and reviews that were probably censored ... 3. Another suggests that D'Souza is an ignorant, dumb and you should not "…bother [] …debating D'Souza on history and semantics..." only "rudimentary logic". 4. "…hilariously [] title" "straw man arguments" Need to talk about this? Others laughed at him and even proposed "a world without Dinesh d'Souza". Is that a "hateful rhetoric"? In short, I suspect that almost none of the "critics" even saw the documentary, resorting to their personal prejudice to the director and his audience. See more Read all reviews
