An extremely hardselling right-wing antithesis of Michael Moore's FAHRENHEIT 9/11, this pro-Bush version of history during George W.'s administration includes comments by Michael Ledeen of the conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute; right-wing film critic Michael Medved; John Kerry's nemesis since the Nixon era John O'Neill; and Washington Times columnist Bill Sammon. Written by Ted Steinberg and HANOI HILTON director Lionel Chetwynd, the film explains that Celsius 41.11 is "the temperature at which the brain begins to die" and claims allegations that African-Americans were systematically disenfranchised in Florida during the 2000 election are "unsubstantiated" and that the election was not stolen.

1/5

Rob Gonsalves

Now that we've had the four more years of Bush that the movie was designed to encourage ... Celsius 41.11 seems pretty sad and naive.

A grim slice of ultra-conservative agitprop...probably the worst example of the activist documentary to appear this election season.

As a return volley to Moore's cinema, Celsius shares Moore's blatant agit-prop but none of his humor or entertainment sense.

Celsius 41.11 is so bad it's almost like performance art, or those cheap records from the '60s, where the Chipmunks sing the Beatles' greatest hits.

The even faintly informed will see only a cut-rate vision of flabby white men defending their own bloodthirsty opportunism.

A bland documentary if ever there was one.

There's really nothing more here than you can find watching dreadful political advertisements and dreadful political talk shows.

It's not that Moore's film doesn't deserve an argument. But it does deserve a more thoughtful one.

Lou Lumenick

There is little new in this mostly dry and humorless defense of President Bush, which adds a little heat but not a whole lot of light to the political debate.

There are some very thought-provoking points, and the movie deserves a balanced listening-to.

It's about as emotional as a PowerPoint presentation.

If Knoblock expected his film to change minds, as Fahrenheit 9-11 seems to have done, he really should have added more humor

Like Moore's film, Celsius hits too many topics with too broad a brush, resulting in yet another contribution to this campaign season's spin cycle of rhetoric.

Like its cinematically superior inspiration, Celsius 41.11 isn't going to change many minds.

Manohla Dargis

The new documentary film Celsius 41.11 represents another unconvincing effort on the part of conservatives to mount a viable critique of Michael Moore.

As a film exercise, Celsius 41.11 is routine.

Ron Stringer

Chetwynd and company at least attempt to score their points honestly, avoiding the spurious or ad hominem attacks of those for whom many little lies somehow constitute fair play in November’s battle against the Big Red One.
