Leave your thoughts about Alt-Right: Age of Rage.
| The GateAndrew ParkerOne gets the sense that Lough might have been hoping for different results and confrontations than the ones he ultimately captured through his footage and interviews, but that doesn't make the final results any less potent to behold. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA sobering expose' proving the President wrong when he suggests that there are both good and bad Nazis. |
| Film ThreatBradley GibsonLough has attempted impartiality by showing both sides without overtly stating a position. Either side could interpret the film as presenting evidence supporting their ideology. This both works and does not. |
| The VergeAdi RobertsonAge of Rage is most effective not at “explaining” the alt-right, but at providing a snapshot of it, alongside its anti-fascist opposition. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkThe foundation for a terrific, informative and bone-chilling documentary about where we currently are is here, but the problem is that we’re still very much in the middle of this story. |
| The PlaylistGary GarrisonAge of Rage doesn’t ever chart any new ground. It settles with serving as yet another incendiary portrait of hate in this time of division. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMoving to Charlottesville, Lough puts viewers in the action. We don't talk to journalists or politicians about what happened the weekend Heather D. Heyer was killed; we stand in crowds and watch the events unfold. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichAge of Rage is much more potent when questioning its own purpose than it is when giving fancy racists yet another platform to espouse their bullshit. |
| NOW TorontoJake HowellWhile the documentary can't figure out an elegant conclusion to this intensity, the images from the rally - including the tragic death of counter-protester Heather Heyer - are nevertheless a vital snapshot of violent racism's cyclical grip. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenBhala reckons that our most important weapon, as we strategize how to go high instead of going low, is to know what we're up against. |
