Leave your thoughts about Acorn and the Firestorm.
| indieWireDavid EhrlichReuben Atlas and Sam Pollard’s convincing but unfocused documentary “ACORN and the Firestorm” firmly contextualizes the group’s targeted debasement and eventual downfall as a landmark event of this modern political moment — not the epilogue of the previous era, but rather the prologue of the current one. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe doc's poignant heart is in observing how ACORN's most dedicated members have pushed to continue doing good after it was forced to close its doors. |
| Splice TodayStephen SilverIt's no great shakes filmmaking-wise, but does put together a compelling story that was in many ways a precursor for the Trump era. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergAlthough the documentary makes clear how some accusations proved false or overblown, perhaps its biggest flaw is that it’s too eager to hand-wave any actual mistakes that Acorn made. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlACORN and the Firestorm fumbles with the media story, offering cable-news talking heads in montage but not digging deeply into how the story spread — or why elected Democrats believed they had to shut Acorn down. That sense of fumbling shapes the film. |
