Nigel Andrews Financial Times A Tantalus glimpse of what America might have been with a president who cared about the planet, its people and its peace. May 15, 2015 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone It grabs you like a thriller with an ending that will haunt your dreams. Rated: 3/4 Nov 24, 2006 Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor Just because truths are inconvenient is no reason to suppose they are not real. Rated: A- Oct 14, 2006 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Gore's film is basically preaching to the choir. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 12, 2020 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter An Inconvenient Truth gives a platform to Al Gore's prophetic sermon on climate change. May 7, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Disarmingly and alarmingly sincere in both its message and presentation ... a truth that has to be seen.

Charlie E I watched this several years ago. And it remains a cast iron prediction of the future - its foretelling becoming reality every single day… essential watching. If I had my way every year 7 child should see it as well as adults. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Cees T 9.99/10 - Excellent presentation. Not quite perfect about leaving out more ancient CO2 vs temperature, being a bit unclear about which leads what, and could be focusing more on water vapor (more warming) and pollution (more deadly than war). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Shael Conviction sells. In my estimation this is a message worth buying despite that we might not have all the facts figured out about global warming. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Nicole C How is this "Documentary" still getting positive reviews when every prediction in the film has proven false nearly 20 years after it was released? Cult mentality is the only reasonable explanation. Climate alarmism at least helped Gore fund his private jets and mansions to "keep carbon levels low". What a fraud. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Adam C Gore's unsubstantiated climate claims ring just as deceptive as they did over 15 years ago when the film was released. And now, with the luxury in the passage of time, we as the audience now know many of claims made in the film have not and may never come to fruition. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review Anurag M Detailed and convincing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
