National Review

The Rise of Jordan Peterson is a fair and even-tempered overview of how Peterson became perhaps the most popular professor in North America and the accidental leader of a movement.

Even critics of the Canadian professor may soften their stance after watching this nuanced look at his unexpected fame.

The who, what, why and how behind the phenomenal rise of Canadian clinical psychologist/author/professor Jordan Peterson gets a very thorough, if workman-like detailing in a feature-length look at his life, philosophies and motivations.

Rated: 3/5

A documentary that tries to balance the bias by including both sides, ultimately it does leave Petersen in a better light. I saw it to learn more about who Jordan was and where he came from and it did show me that. However, I don't feel that it transcends to something bigger than its limited view. It was on Amazon.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A great documentary about a climate change denying, anti-science professor who professes to be scientific and data driven. Terrible person, but film is well done.

Everybody who follows JBP already knows all that stuff. I think the movie should be good for people who are not familiar. It definitely has its place... but I'm ashamed to admit that I found the movie a little boooooooring. JBP is awesome though.
