Leave your thoughts about Totally Under Control.
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe movie is enraging, necessary, and above all, useful. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIts core, depressing, and unavoidable question is simple: How did one of the most advanced and wealthiest countries on the planet so completely fail in its response? |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangIt is hardly the fault of this breathless, incisive and thoroughly infuriating movie that it already feels a touch out of date. How could it not? |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeThis is a documentary that feels confident and intentional at every turn. It’s a story we need to know now, and it’s an essential warning for future generations. |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleHere’s a cocktail so potent that it may just snap even the most tired and cynical viewers out of apathy. |
| The PlaylistChris BarsantiFocusing primarily on the pandemic’s opening act in the first half of 2020, Totally Under Control feels fresh off the editing table. It is so timely, in fact, that an on-screen note at the end informs viewers that one day after it was completed, Trump tested positive for COVID-19. It reads like a punchline to the least funny joke ever told. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattThe movie’s title, by the way, comes from the president’s own evaluation of his handling of the virus, a phrase he proudly repeated more than once. |
| UproxxMike RyanHere are the last eight months all laid out for us, and it’s infuriating. |
| Film ThreatRob RectorThe filmmakers have crafted an urgent watch that demands to be seen. |
| CineVueJohn BleasdaleDoing these usually faceless public servants justice is vitally important. But Totally Under Control somehow feels unfinished. |
