1/4
There's simply not enough time given to any meaningful exchange of ideas. Go to Full Review Ariel Teplitsky Toronto Star 02/06/2014
2.5/4
Director Gus Holwerda does his best to add tension to the mostly tame travelogue. But damned if The Unbelievers doesn't find a few new converts. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 12/12/2013
Plays like a publicity stunt for its secular stars. Go to Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals 03/30/2014
2.6/5
There's so much of airports, taxis and trains that I was left with the thought that a message about the shortcomings of deities and church-going isn't best conveyed in conveyances. Go to Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International 12/11/2013
In its reliance on sloganeering in place of substantive debate, The Unbelievers winds up being almost as insular as any dogmatic religious group. Instead of opening viewers' minds, it's just preaching to the choir. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/16/2018 For such a heady topic, it’s frustratingly shallow. It plays like an extended trailer. See more 04/28/2018 This is an angsty physics lecture disguised as a subversive documentary. For a film covering such curious individuals as Dawkins and Krauss, it doesn't actually seem that curious about anything other than its very myopic perspective: that science cancels out religion. Irritated and irritating. See more 04/17/2018 The amount of sheer ignorance and foolishness to come out of both Dawkins and Krauss's mouth, is both seamless and mind blowing. For the film itself, it's heavy handed, hand fisted and downright boring. See more 04/16/2018 Too much repetition of content no real depth. Very underwhelming, could have been so much better. See more 01/19/2018 Very interesting film by two titans in the scientific community. See more Chris%20 P 12/23/2017 Interesting concept but could have done with more depth. See more Read all reviews
