• Critics Quotes

  "Hardly revelatory, sometimes downright redundant pic nevertheless covers its myriad bases succinctly, while rejecting both grandstanding indignation and self-nullifying 'fairness."Variety: America The Beautiful Review (July 30, 2008) — Variety

  "The documentary "America the Beautiful" is not shrill or alarmist, nor does it strain to shock us. Darryl Roberts, its director and narrator, speaks mostly in a pleasant, low-key voice. But the film is pulsing with barely suppressed rage, and by the end, I shared it."RogerEbert.com: America The Beautiful Review (May 9, 2008) — Roger Ebert
