Maria is a successful businesswoman living in Germany in a happy marriage. However, she has one big problem. She wants to be a mother more than anything, but every time she gets pregnant, she miscarries. When her doctor tells her after her latest miscarriage that she won't be able to get pregnant again, she opts for adoption, but her husband, upset over her condition, refuses the idea and temporary separates from her in order to rethink whether or not he wants to stay in the relationship with her now. She begins to lose her grip on reality when she starts hearing the voice of her unborn child, so she decides to get herself a baby even if she has to buy one. She hears a rumor that prostitutes sometimes sell their unwanted babies on the black market near the German-Czech border, so she meets Petit, a drug-addict who frequents the local prostitutes, and hires him to find her one who's willing to sell her baby for 10 grand. He sees this as a chance to save a child from the hell the prostitutes live in, but the Russian mafia, who runs the local prostitution ring, doesn't see it that way. Soon, Maria and everyone she's contacted there are in mortal danger.

| AV ClubAdam NaymanBy the time the film empties its inventory of shock tactics and reaches its (too calculated) ambiguous conclusion, we're not sure if Maria deserves better, but it's pretty clear that Basinger does. |

| Punch Drunk CriticsMae AbdulbakiA highly intriguing film and fresh take on a subject that is always sad to watch. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA troubling example of what can only be called a fertility thriller. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloUltimately, The 11th Hour doesn't succeed in being much more than the sum of its eccentricities. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyAccording to a certain interpretation of the auteur theory, a film’s value derives from the extent to which it communicates the personality and character of its director. Judged by that standard alone, I suppose “Hillary’s America” is some kind of masterpiece. |
| GuardianJordan HoffmanHillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party is the cinematic equivalent of a drunk man at a sports bar sucking back whole jalapeño peppers hoping for applause without ever being dared. The amusement in watching doesn’t compensate for the pity one feels for someone so desperate for attention. |
| New York Daily NewsKatherine PushkarOverwrought, underwritten and pure cynicism. |
| The Young FolksJosh CabritaI like when sad movies have a point, but The 11th Hour is more like a self-loathing emo in high school who writes over-the-top depressing poetry for attention. |
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneWriter-director Anders Morgenthaler's film is practically an exercise in over-explication. |
