What to Know

Critics Consensus

Director Alexandra Pelosi's chronicle of America circa 2020 may not contextualize its snapshots of upheaval into a satisfying whole, but it proves valuable as a time capsule of turbulent times.

The terrifying part about this documentary is that it's highly likely that any American who watches will recognize a version of themselves in here -- and Pelosi doesn't put a pretty filter on any of what her camera captures. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) 10/24/2020

2/5
A jejune and empty-headed documentary that doesn't add much to the understanding of the events of 2020. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 10/23/2020
This is a movie about the filmmakers' personal agendas, not a measured doc. It's exhausting, incoherent and muddled. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tina S May 23 How is it possible that there is enough content to fill this doc See more 03/23/2021 Absolutely Garbage! This can’t even be considered a documentary. The entire movie was a hit piece on anyone who isn’t on the far left. The over exaggeration is what makes other countries think Americans are crazy. This “movie” and its creators should be ashamed of themselves for promoting division. The creators are repulsive and should never make another movie. See more ionut m 10/29/2020 The thing that I thought was pleasantly surprising was that this documentary is very well balanced, even though it is directed by the daughter of a very high positioned democrat. It's food for thought for people who have any kind of political view . See more Read all reviews
