Noel Murray The Verge 09/18/2019
Inside Bill's Brain often feels more superficial than it actually is because it switches topics so freely. Go to Full Review
Daniel D'Addario Variety 09/18/2019
We're walked through the tech founder and humanitarian's personal history in a manner that grows stultifying the more praise gets ladled on. Go to Full Review
Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter 09/05/2019
The series is smoothly edited by Adrienne Gits and Brad Grossman, and animated sequences - which have become something of a staple of documentary films - are deftly integrated. Go to Full Review
Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ 08/10/2021
This is a tirelessly laudatory film, about a man who probably could yield a far more interesting yarn than this. Go to Full Review
Calum Henderson New Zealand Herald 09/30/2019
[C]lickbait title disappointment aside, the real Inside Bill's Brain is still pretty good. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 09/20/2019
Despite some of the docuseries' eye-rolling overpraise, Inside Bill's Brain is about as close a look at Bill Gates anyone has gotten, so it's a win in our book. Go to Full Review

06/24/2020 Very bad documentary. See more 06/03/2020 Watching this series along with reading Steve Job's autobiography is an interesting experience. The story of Bill in this documentary demonstrated to us that people as successful as Bill, still struggles to solve problems in the world. And to solve any significant problems in the world, it takes patience and years or even decades of work. A great show to remind us the value of patience. To end with his mother's quote, "Each one of us has to start out with developing our own definition of success. And when we have these specific expectations of ourselves, we are more likely to live up to them. Ultimately it is not what you get or even what you give, it is what you become." See more 04/21/2020 It is very one-sided for documentary. It is portraying Gates in a very emotional non objective way, in order for us to like him. He is a philanthropist, an innovative, a workaholic, a genius and of course a human being. The information on his life and his achievements are very interesting but it didn't reach the objectivity I wanted from a documentary. Because if he is of the scale he is portrayed I would except more scientist and big minds to comment on him and his achievements and display a more multifaceted picture. See more 01/28/2020 Good insight in to the life and driving forces behind bill gates personal and professional pursuits. So lovely to learn more about Melinda and her role in their companies and philanthropic/charitable ventures. See more 11/13/2019 Amazing and a must watch! Really gives you a deeper insight into the different ways Bill Gates is still trying to help change the world for better! See more 11/05/2019 Great documentary about Bill Gates, his family, his work.
