Critic Reviews for American

All Critics (3) | Fresh (3)

American is a patriotic movie that calls out the tragic mistake we foisted upon our own citizens out of fear and racism. This patriotism is not without its blemishes.

Alan Ng
Film Threat
American raises far more provocative issues than can be addressed. But perhaps that's the point - to stimulate curiosity, speculation and intense conversation - as to what exactly is the definition of American, in these troubling and turbulent times.

Kudos to George Takei for this labor of love doubling as a very timely teachable moment about racial tolerance.
