Told by the operatives in the rooms where it happened, White with Fear is an explosive deep dive into the decades-long quest by America's conservative political machine to amass power by exploiting racial fault lines and stoking narratives of White victimization.

Chicago Reader

Clear-sighted and well-organized, Andrew Goldberg’s probe into the arson job that is America’s current political system examines the flames that stoked the fire.

Goldberg acknowledges that the film’s power is in its exclusive cast sharing their personal experiences. But his film fails to realize that it, too, is a player in platforming an already undefeated beast.

Rated: 2/4

There’s little here that you haven’t heard before, but it's impressive how fluidly the movie encompasses a half century in which covert racism has grown and thrived, much to the detriment of the Democratic Party.

Rated: B

Goldberg’s credentials are beyond reproach. But we wanted an inkling of what or who could stop exacerbating the racial divisions and white victimization of a country on the brink of authoritarianism. Hoping the people who need to see this film, see it.

Likely to be of the greatest educational use to the people least likely to see it, White With Fear may not tell you much that you didn’t already know. Still, it’s a solid primer in how “dog-whistle politics” have invaded our mainstream.

Third Coast Review

White With Fear is alarming without being alarmist, and I’m guessing few on either side will argue with its messages about the state of American politics today.

Rated: 3/4

Dmitriy A.

The film centers on Mark Watney (Matt Damon), an astronaut left stranded on Mars after a devastating storm. With limited resources, he must find a way to survive and send a message to Earth, relying on his ingenuity and scientific knowledge. The story unfolds with a sense of urgency and hope, showcasing Watney's unwavering determination and the efforts of NASA to bring him home. The film skillfully balances Watney's individual struggle with the broader complexities of space exploration and international collaboration

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
