A look at the career of consumer advocate Ralph Nader.
Leave your thoughts about An Unreasonable Man.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanNader became famous as a "consumer advocate," but as the thrilling first hour of An Unreasonable Man makes clear, that humdrum bureaucratic term didn't do justice to his courage, his vision. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThrough it all Nader, as ruefully funny as ever, comments on his adventures. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghSkrovan swears that during two years of filming, Nader's only demand was, "Make sure you talk to people who oppose me." |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe film begins like a Frank Capra movie--pure-hearted idealist takes on corporate fat cats against impossible odds and triumphs--but ends like a Shakespearean tragedy. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThose who love Nader will appreciate the respect and attention given his career. Yet others, even those for whom the mere sight of Nader's face is enough to cause a spike in blood pressure, will appreciate the film's evenhanded elucidation of Nader's faults. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyA worthy and compelling look at a unique and essentially American figure. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldStates straight off that the man's legacy has been tarnished in most of the liberal world's eyes by his being the spoiler of the 2000 presidential election. "It will be engraved on his tombstone," says his friend Phil Donahue. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe ‘"unreasonable man" himself is interviewed, too, and he comes across as patient, articulate, and maddeningly uncompromising. |
| PremiereScott WarrenIt may most aptly sum up the who the hell Ralph Nader is and why he insists on creating such a ruckus. |
| New York PostKyle SmithSo why does the Democratic Party hate him so much? The answer, as this valuable (if blatantly pro-Nader) documentary makes clear, is hypocrisy. |
