Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The film attempts to put Zizek's philosophy into practical, accessible terms. Accessible, of course, being a relative term.

TV Guide Magazine
Zizek as a larger-than-life figure who manages to engage you even when you're not entirely sure what he's going on about.

The A.V. Club
It's a straightforward, relatively style-free piece, primarily of interest to those who want to hear Zizek's pronouncements. But what distinguishes the film is Zizek's peculiar self-awareness, which borders on paranoia

Boston Globe
Zizek is a revolutionary playing a comedian playing a revolutionary. Which makes him worth watching, even in this movie.

The New York Times
Entertaining without being especially illuminating. If you must see only one documentary about a Slovene philosopher this year, it might be better to read his books.

Variety
A little bit of Slovene philosopher Slavoj Zizek goes a long way. In the verbose profile documentary Zizek! there's a lot of esoteric, eccentric theories, and little context within his globetrotting life.
