Leave your thoughts about The Pervert's Guide to Ideology.
| Village VoiceZachary WigonIn essence, the film is a lecture, but Zizek's associative thinking and understanding of the applicability of psychoanalysis makes it a lecture like no other. |
| The ListTom DawsonThe motormouthed Zizek serves up an intellectually provocative psychoanalytical dissection of Hollywood movies. |
| NonficsLandon PalmerOne leaves The Pervert's Guide to Ideology with a lingering sense that this is how academic essay films should be done in the 21st century. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe final questions in Pervert’s Guide to Ideology nag at us, and in a culture so built upon and so profiting by fantasies of Hollywood apocalypse, they deserve to. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireAs for why the film is called "the pervert's" guide, this reviewer noted that its end credits do not acknowledge the many movies it draws upon so copiously. That, in terms of standard filmmaking etiquette, truly is perverse. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyPay proper attention and it becomes clear that, for all the oddness of his delivery, Zizek makes a great deal of sense. |
| ViewLondonKatherine McLaughlinSlavoj Zizek psychoanalyses cinema and society in this engaging, interesting and spirited documentary. |
| Time OutGuy LodgeIt’s exhilarating, even exhausting stuff, though Fiennes lightens the weight of Zizek’s dense discourse with a welcome scattering of sight gags. He’s a man to be taken seriously, but not averse to donning a nun’s habit — and for that we love him. |
| Empire MagazineIan NathanOccasionally bonkers but kinda brilliant with it, there's plenty here to thrill cineastes and fanboys alike. |
| Japan TimesGiovanni FazioCoherency is not one of the film's strengths, although on a point-by-point basis, it's provocative and even amusing. |
