| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Zizek! is a stylish, surprisingly energetic film. |

| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerThe film attempts to put Zizek's philosophy into practical, accessible terms. Accessible, of course, being a relative term. |
| Chicago ReaderJames WestcottThe documentary bravely risks giving Zizek its own one-way hug. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayIt's a straightforward, relatively style-free piece, primarily of interest to those who want to hear Zizek's pronouncements. But what distinguishes the film is Zizek's peculiar self-awareness, which borders on paranoia |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonTaylor traipses around after Zizek on a continent-hopping lecture tour, and we get a face full of the man's tireless analysis, in a style that can only be characterized as hyperactive grizzly bear, complete with spit-spewing speech impediment. |
| Electric SheepPamela JahnWatching this fresh, brief and enjoyable documentary on DVD is brilliantly stimulating and prompts one to think further about Slavoj iek's original, politically incorrect and ultimately vital analysis of society. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensEntertaining without being especially illuminating. If you must see only one documentary about a Slovene philosopher this year, it might be better to read his books. |
| VarietyEddie CockrellA little bit of Slovene philosopher Slavoj Zizek goes a long way. In the verbose profile documentary Zizek! there's a lot of esoteric, eccentric theories, and little context within his globetrotting life. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonWith an exclamation point suggesting the collegial equivalent of Beatlemania, Zizek! is a movie made by a groupie too enamored of her subject to make a satisfying film about him. |
