Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) The devastating impact of Jones’s conspiracies on families already ripped apart by the Sandy Hook tragedy – which killed 26 – is made clear Rated: 4/5 Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian The madness of it, and the knowledge that Jones’s rants are giving a certain rabid demographic exactly what they want, the dizzying sense of unreality and the multiplying questions as you watch. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times A scathing and well-deserved takedown... Rated: 3/4 Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US Though it’s assembled in a clear and coherent way that makes it more easily digestible, much of this can be gleaned from simply watching Jones on his show. Where this film truly reveals something groundbreaking is in its conversations with the parents. Rated: B+ Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Diego Conesa Otroscines.com The Truth vs. Alex Jones reveals the mechanisms, objectives, and shocking effectiveness of systematic lying in this era of post-truth and free access to the media. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review James Walton The Spectator On the whole, the programme let the facts, the parents’ anguish and the hideousness of Jones and his allies speak for themselves -- which duly made for a grim and enraging watch.

Michael O Alex Jones is the reason people like Thanos felt like half of civilisation should be purged... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Brendan M Mind blowing. Beyond comprension that this man could be so evil. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Jacob O It's all lies. It's disgusting what they did to this man. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Gage v This was a very tough watch dangerous misleading and flat out untrue in some parts, they really do an awful job at displaying who Alex is by just making him out to be literal evil incarnate. Just a terrible counterproductive to society documentary. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Chinu D Its a really good movie.
