Frederick Blichert Vice Behind the Curve offers portraits of flat Earthers as human beings who are worthy of our respect, and it makes a compelling case for empathy and dialogue. Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Gem Seddon SFX Magazine This documentary delves into why that is and how difficult it is to fight the growing trend (you’d be surprised!). Feb 3, 2022 Full Review Luke Whiston TheShiznit.co.uk The subjects are hopelessly blinkered and need either a good talking to or, in the worst cases, intervention and rehabilitation. Rated: C+ Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Incredible and relevant docu about conspiracy theories. Rated: 4/5 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage It's a very, very fun [film], on the one hand interesting, on the other, embarassing. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz Behind the Curve is funny as hell, with a killer ending. It also has something important to say.

Braydon C great film showing the truth of the earth Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Timothy H Made the Flat Earth community look like a bunch of crazies, but I guess any attention is good attention. Soon enough everyone will know the truth... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Conner D I thought it was very informative as to how "Flat Earthers" can hold such a ridiculous belief. They are in my opinion blinded by there own ignorance and unwilling to hear the truth because the have such a distrust in the government. It's quite funny to watch play out and I think you will enjoy watching it as well if you've ever been curious as to why people believe the earth is flat. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Here's the thing: -It's a decently filmed and edited documentary and it's REALLY FUNNY...BUT... -It's a science documentary, not a comedy, the number of atrocities I listened to in this doc was unbelievable; -one of them liked the book 1984 and gave 1/2 a star for that. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I have watched this documentary 5 times. Seriously... It's the most entertaining things I have seen in a while. Flat Earthers are very passionate about their beliefs so I gave them all kudos for that. But omg… I can't help but laugh and think "what the hell" … In one part they do experiments that are supposed to prove the earth is flat. When the results don't come out as expected, they decided that they need to reassess and recalibrate so they can come up with experiments that DO prove the Earth is flat. This whole movie is a prime example of confirmation bias. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The two main spokespersons are attractive and charismatic, so a lot of the movie is devoted to them. These people have a lot invested, their identity for instance, so they would never change their views. It's a ridiculous premise which is insupportable but that doesn't stop it from getting devotees. The movie is very repetitive - way too long. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
