Particle Fever Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Particle Fever explores with awe-inspiring precision, and in remarkably accessible language, how 10,000 scientists and engineers from around the world built what in effect is the ultimate test tube for particle physics.
Metro
Matt Prigge
We see science, and scientists - excitable, anxious, adorably nerdy scientists - freaking out as they're about to fire up the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), one of the largest machines ever built by man.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
The enthusiasm, idealism, and cheerful brilliance of the six subjects convey the thrill, if not the full significance, of this scientific breakthrough.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It plays out with all the suspense of a thriller.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
Even the most math-averse viewer will be on pins and needs to know the results.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The filmmakers find room for some witty philosophical bull sessions and affectionate portraits of some of the physicists; this is an agreeable light entertainment on a complex subject.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Even if you can't explain the Standard Model or define "supersymmetry," you'll walk away with a conviction that you've vicariously participated in a historic event.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The bracing scientific rigor and intellectual derring-do presented in "Particle Fever" are most welcome.
NPR
Trey Graham
All you really need to know about Particle Fever is that it includes footage of physicists rapping. About physics. Wearing giant Einstein masks.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The film allows for our awe. It also demonstrates that science is the most human of activities, with all that that implies.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Watching a film won't make you smarter, but if there ever was one that could, it would be "Particle Fever," a movie so mind-bending you can almost feel your brain cells growing as you're watching it.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
Talk about a smash hit.
AV Club
Josh Modell
A compelling, if sometimes difficult to follow, story.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
The film may not put itself above the uninitiated, but director Mark Levinson oftentimes appears almost too eager to present his material with affectation.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
A movie that's not just accessible but fun, with a surprisingly emotional payoff at the end.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The experience of watching the film can be vertiginous: You toggle between the tiny and the infinite, between eternity and the real time of the recent past.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
A dazzling, dizzying documentary about nothing less than whether we exist in a coherent universe of ordered, even beautiful laws ...
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
The film does everything it can to build a bridge between physics nerds and their wedgie-giving counterparts [...] making Particle Fever the crowd-pleaser it is [...]
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
A documentary about science for professionals and laypeople alike, Particle Fever celebrates an event of earth-shattering importance, though what far-ranging transformations it heralds remain unknown
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
A timely and fascinating look at physicists' search for the Higgs boson.
