A movie about manufactured consensus would be a vital public service. But "Merchants of Doubt" isn't quite that movie. Apr 9, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Aside from an eye-opening investigation of useless and harmful flame repellents pumped into furniture, it sticks to climate change without broadening its scope to other examples of corporate spinning, which must be plentiful. Apr 3, 2015 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

A compelling exposé of professional propagandists, though the movie itself is not agenda-free. Apr 2, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Merchants of Doubt shouldn't be a hard sell. The fact that it is should make you very mad. Mar 26, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Merchants of Doubt isn't going to change the minds of any skeptics out there; it's more about preaching to the converted. Still, Kenner's is a well-delivered sermon that's worth listening to. May 10, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Kenner, like Morano, Heimbach and Swiss, is pulling our strings all the while, right under our noses. Mar 14, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Cigarettes, climate change, and flame retardants are just some of the topics covered in this highly informative and unnerving documentary. Don Draper, avert your eyes. Nov 8, 2018 | Full Review…

There's a wealth of valuable and urgent info in Robert Kenner's study of how business and ideological interests... create the illusions of debate and doubt over such issues as climate change in the media arena when none ought to exist. Sep 27, 2017 | Full Review…

It's nice to see the problem of climate change tackled from a new angle, but this is still another form of preaching, another film designed to outrage. But how is the audience meant to channel that outrage? Aug 14, 2017 | Full Review…
