Critic Reviews for No Safe Spaces

All Critics (17) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (9)

"No Safe Spaces" makes the case for why it's actually healthy, if not essential, to be exposed to ideas you disagree with and even violently don't like; it toughens the muscles, preparing you for the rigors of the world.

Owen Gleiberman
Variety
Ironically, for a film dealing with freedom of speech, one side seems to be doing all the talking.

Michael Rechtshaffen
Los Angeles Times
It argues for common sense and values while railing against dogma. But what is one person's dogma except someone else's common sense and values?

John Wenzel
Denver Post
This isn't an argument for free speech, it's just paranoid whining, complete with a roundtable of comics sympathetically agreeing how sad and scary this all is, plus images of the Statue of Liberty with tape over its mouth.

Vadim Rizov
AV Club
No Safe Spaces provides an intermittently amusing and chilling reminder that the 1st Amendment rests on precarious footing and that our civics education has gone to hell. But I'm not entirely persuaded that America is in as much danger as it claims.

Neal Pollack
Book & Film Globe
For a film that repeatedly stresses the importance of free speech, No Safe Spaces never really makes clear why listening to Dennis Prager adds any value to one's life.

No Safe Spaces isn't designed to engender debate or honestly engage the very real problem it purports to investigate. It's self-serving and obvious.

Philip Martin
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
If the Left does not want "common sense" to become an exclusively conservative epithet, it ought to heed the lessons of this rangy tour of today's free-speech wars.

Kyle Smith
National Review
While somewhat loose and undisciplined in its structure, the film builds a case that academia is the primary battleground in a war to eliminate ideological diversity in the United States.

Nathaniel Bell
L.A. Weekly
Two smug, smirking jerks having a conservative "free speech" circle smirk

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
Overly long, illogical docu is long-winded and obnoxious.

Vital, timely and alarming.
