REVIEWS RATE: Critics Readers [Rate It]

“..somewhat less inflammatorily..”

by Joe Leydon [Variety]

“..not interviewed by the filmmakers are Obama's political supporters, but this isn't that kind of documentary..”

by Andy Webster [NY Times]

“..not all of 2016 is a mess-parts of it are nuanced and engaging..”

by Phil Contrino [Boxoffice Magazine]

“..D'Souza makes it all sound almost plausible, but only if you're predisposed to believe that Obama hates America. It's bashing, all right, but with a velvet-gloved fist..”

by Michael O'Sullivan [Washington Post]

“..as an example of our national discourse, it's mostly just depressing..”

by Rafer Guzman [Newsday]

“..although the film is unlikely to sway the undecided, it actually starts out as a fairly measured and informative recap of Obama's personal history..”

by Stephen Farber [Hollywood Reporter]
