      Owen Gleiberman Variety If you go into it thinking that you're going to be rolling your eyes at the ultimate self-deluded celebrity do-gooder, the movie may stop you in your tracks. May 9, 2021 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times A revealing, engaging chronicle of the actor's activism. May 6, 2021 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Perhaps the film could have benefited from a more analytical discussion of Haiti's larger historical context, but it's a worthwhile record. Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2021 Full Review Matthew Pejkovic Matt's Movie Reviews Could have used more of a critical eye on Penn's bullish brand of activism. Rated: 3/5 May 31, 2021 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Though the documentary can feel self-aggrandizing and an attempt to shift negative perceptions of Penn's personal style of activism, his dedication to helping Haiti is obviously not a publicity stunt. Rated: 3/5 May 18, 2021 Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic Sean Penn's actiivism, heart and commitment to the greater good of the globe is on full display in Citizen Penn. Other photo opp driven celebs should take a page out of HIS book. May 14, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
