What to Know

Critics Consensus

Morgan Sprulock's doc offers occasional insights but gets bogged down by the director/subject's gimmicky schtick.

Deborah Ross The Spectator This is a pointless film. It is sans point, has zilch point, scores nul points in the point department. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian There is room for a tough, journalistic documentary presented by someone who really did want to know the answer. But this isn't it. Rated: 1/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins What starts as a rather goofy, computer-animated, video game mockery transforms into mature investigative journalism. Rated: 6/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Benefits from Spurlock's relaxed style and overall faith in humanity. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 27, 2020 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row A shameless vanity project that's better off ignored. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Despite sometimes being boring, Spurlock somehow pulls this off by being his usual self, which may or may not might attract people to watch this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/20/21 Full Review Audience Member ngehe banget si Spurlock! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A good documentary that is ruined by Morgan Spurlock's out of control ego. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Well done yet again Morgan Spurlock, a clever, positive insight into Islam that is open in confronting all the issues. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member dissapointing... but at the same time a bit fun adventure... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I meant to see this four years ago, but even though Bin Laden is dead now, I'm still glad I watched it, because it's not really about Bin Laden; it's about how the West stereotypes the Muslim world, and THAT is as relevant today as it was in 2008. Grade: B+ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
