American Dharma offers a fascinating glimpse of a political influencer's public persona - and a frustrating missed opportunity to interrogate his actions and stated beliefs.

The movie's worth taking in, though, as a shaky confrontation with a very American kind of demon, one weaned on the shallow, heroic lies of Hollywood individualism, furious that life rarely works that way, and willing to wreck the house in response. Jan 2, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Kid-glove treatment of the former Donald Trump advisor is surprising coming from the hard-hitting interviewer of Robert McNamara and Donald Rumsfeld. Dec 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Give 'em enough rope, as they say. It's become increasingly fashionable to twist or ignore facts, but it's still important to present them for all to see. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Bannon has trafficked in racism, far-right conspiracy theories and other controversies during his career. Morris brings up some of it... but rarely nails Bannon with a tough follow-up question. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"American Dharma" is the gospel according to Stephen K. Bannon - a feature-length conversation with the Trump White House's former chief political advisor that is both more interesting and more depressing than you might be expecting. Nov 8, 2019 | Full Review…

Where Klayman's film was anecdotal, letting Bannon hang himself with his arrogant disingenuousness, Morris' feels more intellectually rigorous - an interrogation that, by comparison, may not come across strongly enough to some as an indictment. Nov 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Throughout the film, which boasts a smart score and does a brilliant job of interweaving film and news clips with public opinion overlaid via the Twittersphere, [Errol] Morris affords his subject a long leash - perhaps too long. Jan 2, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Whether or not American Dharma is worth your time is ultimately up to you and whether you enjoy giving space in your life to controversial figures. Dec 12, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

As always, Morris burrows deep into his subjects. Here his laser focus gives Bannon free rein to reveal his guiding principles and strategies, admirable and otherwise, and Bannon serves up some stunning commentary. Dec 2, 2019 | Full Review…

In this times of intense ideological division, the film gives viewers on both sides of the aisle some points to ponder, if only they're willing to listen. Nov 1, 2019 | Full Review…

Morris does not lead you by the hand. If the subject is lying, or delusional, as he often seems to be, Morris presumes the viewer will notice. Nov 1, 2019 | Full Review…
