Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 10/10 by Ed KelleherThe filmmaker deftly steers the viewer through its more disturbing sequences and even finds room for his patented irony.
Netflix - 10/10 by James RocchiUnsettling documentary is a gripping study of the banality of evil.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittMorris's unique blend of realism and surrealism gives the film great resonance as a portrait of one eccentric individual and, more important, a study of the morbid proclivities that run beneath the surface of our supposedly civilized society.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertMore reverie and meditation than reportage.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanFred Leuchter is just one deluded figure, but by the end of this great and chilling sick-joke documentary he stands as a living icon of the banality of evil.
TNT RoughCut - 9/10 by Don KayeWhat's fascinating about Morris's riveting portrait is the notion that monsters can be born not just out of overwhelming evil, but pure egotism and stupidity -- much more mundane, yet still dangerous.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Lisa AlspectorUsing archly staged interviews and reconstructions that draw attention to the components of the documentary form, Morris does justice to the complexity of hot-button issues by suggesting several layers of subtext at once, portraying the articulate Leuchter as both rational and prone to rationalize.
Cinema em Cena - 9/10 by Pablo VillaçaMorris, com sua habilidade narrativa habitual, conta a interessante mas incômoda história de um homem destruído pela própria ignorância.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Wesley MorrisSegues from the merely quirky into the bizarrely unthinkable.
USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkWith his coolly objective moon's-eye view serving a story that's bizarre by even his long-established career standards, the great documentarian Errol Morris examines the perils of vanity - though others will understandably make more sinister interpretations.
