Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 01/22/2015
The subject matter could have been fascinating if the film weren't underwritten. Williams tries to build an entire movie around just a few key scenes and lots of filler. Go to Full Review
Nicolas Rapold New York Times 01/22/2015
Deteriorates into a hot mess of montages, trailer-ready one-liners and thudding drama. Go to Full Review
Ernest Hardy Village Voice 01/21/2015
Americons has its heart and justifiably outraged politics in the right place; it just lacks artistry or real insight. Go to Full Review

Americons is like The Wolf of Wall Street without the skill, depth, nuance, humor, or poignancy. Go to Full Review
