Critic Reviews

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    You can't help but take a little pleasure in watching jerk lawyers -- and an arrogant mega-corporation, with money and laws and seemingly the judge too on its side -- lose in every way imaginable.

  • Dennis Harvey, Variety

    An alarming if ultimately inspiring David-and-Goliath parable for today.

  • John McMurtrie, San Francisco Chronicle

    A stirring and sometimes funny film.

  • Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com

    Everybody loves a good David & Goliath story, often doubly so when the story happens to be entirely factual and quite ironic.

  • Steve Schneider, Orlando Weekly

    McLibel made me want to boycott McDonald's, turn vegetarian and even punch a clown or two on principle. But most of all, it restored my faith that the power to shape public discourse really rests with the people and not the PR agents.

    Way before Super-Size Me's time and way more legally involved, this gives a very interesting look into McDonald's soulless black heart
