Lough has attempted impartiality by showing both sides without overtly stating a position. Either side could interpret the film as presenting evidence supporting their ideology. This both works and does not.

Age of Rage is most effective not at “explaining” the alt-right, but at providing a snapshot of it, alongside its anti-fascist opposition.

Moving to Charlottesville, Lough puts viewers in the action. We don't talk to journalists or politicians about what happened the weekend Heather D. Heyer was killed; we stand in crowds and watch the events unfold.

Age of Rage doesn’t ever chart any new ground. It settles with serving as yet another incendiary portrait of hate in this time of division.

The foundation for a terrific, informative and bone-chilling documentary about where we currently are is here, but the problem is that we’re still very much in the middle of this story.

Age of Rage is much more potent when questioning its own purpose than it is when giving fancy racists yet another platform to espouse their bullshit.

A Well Documented Look Into Evil Human Beings
This is an important documentary because it shows the awfulness of The Alt-Right.

Probably one of the most biased films you’ll ever see. It’s under the “documentary” section on Netflix but this is far from a legitimate documentary. The film portrays anybody that doesn’t have left wing views as an “alt-right white nationalist/suppremacist;” and portrays everybody on the left as “good guys” that are essentially “fighting” against hate. The film literally portrays Antifa as the good guys. It’s propaganda, that’s the best word I can use for this film. Grade A left wing propaganda. It gets a three because of the obvious Left Wing bias. A documentary should be impartial and tell the story from both sides. This film attempts to do that, but is clearly on one side.
