Owen Gleiberman Variety "Created Equal" is structured as a monologue of self-justification, a two-hour infomercial for the decency, the competence, and the conservative role-model aspirationalism of Clarence Thomas. Feb 8, 2020 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times With its shrewdly chosen archival clips and lack of opposing voices, this lengthy, often tone-deaf section (especially from today's #MeToo vantage point) plays as if Thomas simply wanted his say for a new generation and got it... Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association A two-hour unperceptive documentary leaves the quietest man on the Supreme Court no less an enigma than before the opening credits rolled. Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix This narrowly focused biographical documentary ... interviews only two people: Clarence Thomas and his second wife, Virginia 'Ginni' Thomas ... Why not interview more people who know Clarence Thomas too? Jul 13, 2020 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun Integrity is not a word I would use in connection with this film. I think some of its messages are not just one-sided; they are dangerous in the way they add to the deep political divide plaguing this nation. May 15, 2020 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The whole idea of the movie is to show Thomas as an avuncular gentleman of high principles and ideals... There's no pretense otherwise, and though I guess you could call this agitprop, it's a very honest kind of agitprop. Rated: 86/100 Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Lucky Excellent! Very well done and most informative. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/20 Full Review Karen Liked learning about Judge Thomas and his history. Made me appreciate him more! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/20 Full Review Marie Sand Great documentary! The truth is so much better than what the media feeds you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/20 Full Review Virginia J It was inspiring to hear Justice Thomas speak his own words re: his life and journey to become a member of the Supreme Court. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/29/20 Full Review FIONA T Excellent. Well presented and extremely informative. It really shows what an amazing life he has led. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/20 Full Review Leslie H There are few people holding government office that I'd spent money and two hours listening to their story to better understand them. Judge Thomas has always been a bit of an enigma for me since his nomination and the hearings. I was surprised at the depth of coverage (childhood, relationships, hearings) and his compelling comments throughout. Highly recommend for either side of the aisle.
