The Weather Underground Ratings & Reviews
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
The Weather Underground leaves the viewer with many questions. To the filmmakers' credit, most of them are the right and urgent ones to ask.
Seattle Times
Erik Lundegaard
Whose side the documentarians are on is never clear -- in a muddy rather than an ambiguous way. Did anyone die from the Weathermen's bombings? We don't find out here.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Thought-provoking.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
An eye-opening look at idealism taken to extremes during one of the most turbulent periods of American history.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
A remarkable journey.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
What's forceful about The Weather Underground is how effectively the filmmakers convey the violent zeitgeist of those years.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A compelling piece of work that turns out to have unexpected relevance to the current world situation.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Essential viewing for anyone who wants to know the roots -- and perils -- of modern political dissent.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A fascinating window into American political history.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A smart, absorbing, often exhilarating documentary.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Weather Underground chronicles those early days of idealism, and their transition into a period when American society seemed for an instant on the point of revolution.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
What it needs is more context, social and psychological.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A powerful and searching documentary.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Powerful and surprisingly timely.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
This terrifically smart and solid piece of filmmaking lets the former Weathermen, now in their 50's and older, speak into the camera and reveal a bit of their personal histories as well as what the peace movement meant to them.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Filmmakers Sam Green and Bill Siegel tend to shy from tough questions, allowing their subjects to wax nostalgic about bomb-throwing as yet another youthful folly of the '70s.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Sam Green and Bill Siegel's often gripping documentary manages to evoke the particular quality and extent of the madness that possessed many Americans during the course of the longest foreign war in the nation's history.
Variety
Scott Foundas
With respect to its title subject, the infamous splinter group of the nonviolent Students for a Democratic Society, pic is unaccountably soft.
