This is the best movie I have ever seen but I am too old to know how to work this website, so I guess I accidentally gave it a zero. Oh well, black people fill my diaper and I've never seen a trans person but they are destroying our country. I'm sane as hell.

An extremely necessary topic for the days in which we live. This is a must-see.

This movie is so bad that watching paint dry is a more compelling and entertaining experience

With any actual further investigation, this movie becomes very obviously the most intellectually dishonest garbage I have ever seen.

Regardless of your political leanings, this smart, funny and prescient documentary should be a warning to all those safe-spacers afraid of getting triggered - 10 stars

Tip: When a documentary has a ratio of Audience rating to Staff rating like this, you can be pretty sure it's worth watching.

Very eye opening! You can tell the critics rated it low due to their personal beliefs

This is an informative, entertaining and highly thought provoking look into the recent culture of censorship and intolerance to diversity of opinion that is a fundamental threat to western concepts of freedom of speech. Carolla in particular provides his usual acerbic wit and dry humour to really get to the nub of the issues and illustrate the contradictions from a future where somebody, somewhere being "offended" is the only requirement to determine what is acceptable. A must watch.

Having the narrator of your movie about free speech be someone who has controversially spewed racism and sexism isn't a good start. The movie plays out as you would expect based on this alone and offers little in the way of a well put together, informative documentary.
If you are a Trump supporting hate mongerer then this movie will be great for you.

The negative reviews carry the importance of this documentary. Many reviews accuse the film of having a right leaning bias without asking themselves if there is anything in the film that is actually correct. If you do that, it will be a challenging film to watch. In my opinion, that is the point do documentaries. And this film does it well.

Eye-opening and somewhere depressing.
The Documentary doesn't make the audience hopeful in the end.

This is "wake-up call" to the American people, and for the rest of the world, claiming the left is trampling on free speech to satisfy its agendas. it should make people aware of how nuts it is on campuses and in the media when it comes to censorship based on feelings rather than facts. Irrationality, victimization and race baiting in this communist state has reached outrageous proportions. The mainstream media and academia is infested with liberal madness that wants to indoctrinate everybody. You can see every mainstream platform negatively criticizing this movie because the big tech and all that is mainstream dislikes this movie cause it speaks the brutal truth. But they hesitate to approach this movie at all, given the few reviews, because they dont want the movie to get too much exposure, or if people see the difference between the critics score and user score, a neuron in their brain might trigger and make them think theres something very wong taking place here.

The movie we need in times like these where social media and censorship are in fascist marriage, guarded by the wealthy elite, the mainstream media, and brainwashed ignorant public that believes everything they hear and voluntarily desisted using critical thinking or due diligence about policy.

I thought this was a decent entry in the growing list of documentaries about Western values such as free speech. There were similarities between this and “Fight of Our lives: Defeating the Ideological War Against the West” (available on Prime). It meandered a bit in the beginning, kind of wading into its main thrust rather than viscerally grabbing the audience by the ears. There wasn't a critical urgency about what is really happening until about midway through the film, but it did well once hitting this stride. Many of the people I listen to and/or read were featured, such as Greg Lukianoff, Dave Rubin, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Heather Heying, Bret Weinstein, Sheryl Attkisson, Lindsay Shepherd, and others. I would have liked to hear from more, such as James D'Amore (who is only briefly mentioned), Tim Pool, Andy Ngo, Bridget Phetasy, Joe Rogan, James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, or Jonathan Haidt, just to name a few. It was very North American-centric, so luminaries such as Douglas Murray, Niall Ferguson, or Carl Benjamin (Sargon) were also omitted (although Mark Steyn appears in a clip from a television interview). There are many aspects of the "Culture War" to be concerned about, and this film chose freedom of speech and expression on the campuses of American and Canadian universities, the majority of which are in various stages of becoming decidedly dogmatic and openly hostile to opinions that dissent from the rigid Altar of Wokeness, as its prime focus. As somebody who has been reading, listening, studying, and talking about this for half a decade, there were exactly zero surprises in the content of this film for me. I'm intimately familiar with it all, and could expound upon each event chronicled in the film in great detail. For example, 6 or 8 minutes are spent on the Evergreen State College debacle; for those who want to dive deeper, Mike Nayna and Benjamin Boyce have both produced hours-long multi-part documentaries on just this occurrence. So, for anyone who is already keyed in to what has been going on, don't expect many new ideas or novel approaches or news you didn't know about from this film. Despite not learning a lot that was new, and having some areas I would have done differently or expanded on, I think this was a decently-packaged documentary that I was glad to support, and for those who aren't hyper-aware of all of this already it should serve as a well-balanced exploration of what is a worrisome and consequential trend.

Phenomenal. Demonstrates the severe crisis level of hostility in the American education system of towards a certain race, class, sex and religion all coming from those who claim to be against the "-isms". Individuals who are either the wrong race, sex or religion are finding themselves attacked/threatened if they refuse to participate in discriminatory events (Brett Weinstein), if they are invited to give a talk at college campuses (Long list of conservative speakers) or if they refuse to vote on something that contradicts a religious belief. Large mobs inflicting emotional and/or physical trauma to those with whom they don't even know whether they disagree or not, never having heard arguments from the right. This film is well done and hopefully it will be eye opening to many of the viewers who go to see it.
