American Chaos Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
[Stern's] goal with the film is not to argue or to condescend but to listen.
Denver Westword
Alan Scherstuhl
The film, I suspect, will have some minor historical value, but I fear that watching Stern well up on election night won't offer much insight to people alive now.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Josh Terry
It's compelling, but if it had done a better job of sticking to its plan, American Chaos could have been even more impressive.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Impressively restrained.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Who was Stern's target audience? Surely Democrats don't want to spend 90 minutes relitigating the election any more than Republicans yearn to squander so much as a cent of their entertainment dollar watching liberals whine.
Daily Film Fix
Jonathan W. Hickman
Stern does his best to make an argument for more civility in the election process. What's refreshing is that there's not a lot of incensed, charged rhetoric in "American Chaos."
Battleship Pretension
Tyler Smith
With so many taking hardline political stances, James Stern's attempt at injecting some compassion into the proceedings is a welcome relief, even if it does feel a bit soft at times.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
It's disorganized and erratic, jumping from thesis to thesis and location to location, sometimes seeming to pride itself on adopting a nonjudgmental 'I'm just listening' attitude.
Washington City Paper
Tricia Olszewski
Stern, however, remains remarkably calm and even empathetic toward his subjects...
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Interviews with Trump supporters in the 2016 Presidential campaign that prove passion beats pragmatism.
AXS.com
Tom Santilli
Stern does not set out with any preconceived judgments as to why millions of Americans support Trump...some of the reasons are much more complex than we want to think.

Christian Toto
This listening tour keeps interrupting its subjects.
TheWrap
Todd Gilchrist
Basically serves as a chronicle of one liberal's disbelief and disillusionment as election night dashes all of his ideals about the progress he thought our country had made. Almost two years later, though, who needs or wants to see that?
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Forget fake news; "American Chaos" is yesterday's news.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
Despite lacking a broader, more incisive scope, Stern's film has its share of engaging moments...
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Stick with your instincts, good sir. Keep questioning how we got to where we are.
New York Times
Ken Jaworowski
"Passion beats pragmatism," Mr. Stern says, summing up what he sees on his travels. Indeed, the message here is the same for both sides, for elections to come: Those who harness that passion gain the power.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
It plays like a rerun of a dated CNN segment.
Washington Post
Alan Zilberman
Throughout "Chaos," Stern presents himself as the voice of reason, one that deserves to be listened to with respect, although he never really examines his own assumptions.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Despite... frustrating omissions, American Chaos is a well made film.
