Drew Toal Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Akiva Gottlieb Slant Magazine The End of America gives author and public intellectual Naomi Wolf an Inconvenient Truth-style platform to remind Americans about the Bush administration's assault on our civil liberties. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 3, 2008 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times Tightly constructed and fiercely one-sided. Rated: 3/5 Dec 3, 2008 Full Review Christopher Long Movie Metropolis Its very easy to cherry-pick examples and fit them into a previously existing model. Rated: 5/10 Jul 17, 2009 Full Review Jennifer Merin About.com This gripping documentary details the ten step blueprint Hitler and other dictators used to subvert democratic process and personal freedoms. Then it compares historical events with what's happening in America today. Scary stuff. May 27, 2009 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall It's actually an intriguingly level-headed approach to a hugely emotive issue. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 20, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Interesting movie exposing parallels between post 9-11 US political reactions vs fascism examples throughout history. Narrated by a patriot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member One-sided, but intentionally so, this film demonstrates parallels between present-day American and historical fascist regimes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member refreshing and scary.... Nice to know where my tax money is going. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member so so true. can't stand the way naomi speaks but i can grin and bear it for the superior content. so glad bush and most of his policy is gone. what a goof. america is kind of just fucked ongoing tho hey? sigh. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Ug ... this is the kind of film that I hate seeing, but that I'm glad I saw. It's a chilling look at the way the U.S. has moved closer and closer to being a closed society ever since 9/11. The film outlines how we have followed many of the same steps â" censorship of the press, detainment of citizens, subversion of the law, use of paramilitary groups, etc. â" that other oppressive regimes have throughout the 20th century; regimes that ultimately ended in all-out dictatorships. Like I said, chilling. Grade: A- Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Compares America Post 9/11 to Germany under Hitler's Regime. MUST SEE. ???1/2 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
