Critic Reviews

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    It grabs you like a thriller with an ending that will haunt your dreams.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    Just because truths are inconvenient is no reason to suppose they are not real.

  • Dave Calhoun, Time Out

    It is utterly convincing, it's emotionally powerful and it makes Gore look more charming than he ever did as a presidential candidate.

  • Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

    The film succeeds powerfully, even though it's short on practical solutions, makes some questionable statements of fact and, given Gore's current ambiguous position in public life, requires a tighter focus on the message than on the messenger.

  • Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

    Frightening and timely, the smartly organized documentary is an urgent plea for responsibility and action as well as an impassioned call to heed the ominous warnings of science.

    An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary built around Al Gore's turn on the lecture circuit concentrating on the causes and consequences of Global Warming. Because of this, it can feel a little like "The Al Gore Show" and it probably would've helped its credibility… More

    Whilst I can't deny the facts presented in the film, there's aways the question of what 'facts' are you embellishing or simply not showing at all. I do believe Al Gore's words, and it's really presented in a modern, interesting and thought-provoking way… More

    An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest folly's I've ever seen in a documentary. The film since its release has been proven false by so many scientists that it should be called An Inconvenient Lie. This film is pure propaganda designed to scare you. Nothing in… More

    Itâ(TM)s a moving, emotional romp in the life as we know it, and what it will be many years from now. It portrays all this technical jargon in such way that even the unsophisticated could comprehend. Taken from a holistical standpoint, An Inconvenient Truth tells us of the beauty of… More
