| The A.V. ClubScott MacDonaldThere’s enough here to merit a watch. One of the movie’s more unexpected pleasures is Alexander Falk’s handsome digital cinematography, which goes far beyond the call of duty for a micro-budget documentary. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonMildly engaging for armchair politicos, but generally more successful as only a diagnostic statement of basic socioeconomic condition than a groundbreaking work in and of itself. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAn involving primer on the realities of homegrown versus global industrialization. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderAmerican manufacturing gets glossy, infomercial-style treatment in this tiresome documentary. |
| Village VoiceDaphne HowlandThe film's experts and entrepreneurs have a lot to say worth listening to, but little that illuminates any clear path. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerAmerican Made Movie ends up feeling as if it were built from well-known facts and wishful thinking. |

| Slant MagazineRob HumanickThe documentary's refusal to challenge the comfort zones of its target audience is apparent throughout. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierYou’ll never buy an inexpensive T-shirt without feeling guilty again. At least not after seeing Nathaniel Thomas McGill and Vincent Vittorio’s thorough documentary, which explains something you already know — American manufacturing is dying. |
