Union Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Union" lets us see what Amazon and the world would soon discover about the power workers have when they invest in their dignity first.
Nonfics (Substack)
Christopher Campbell
It benefits by having a strong character in Chris Smalls.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
Union may be a vérité work, but it never lets us forget the humanity of everyone in front of and behind the camera.
The Nation
Ella Fanger
It would be a great line to end the documentary on, but Union doesn't give us that satisfaction...the film ends on a sobering note...
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Brett Story ("The Hottest August") and Stephen Maing ("Crime + Punishment") got on the ground with the workers and the organizers; in their engrossing new film, "Union," they show how the vote's outcome was hardly assured.
In Review Online
Michael Sicinski
The film rightly celebrates a glimmer of hope in an era of all-encompassing darkness, but with a bit more insight, it might've pointed the way toward future victories.
RogerEbert.com
Isaac Feldberg
The film captures both the pain and the power of people at the base of a global infrastructure.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Rather dry without any thoroughness or fair and balanced perspectives. It fails to find the right balance between entertaining the audience and provoking them emotionally as well as intellectually.
Next Best Picture
Tom O'Brien
The film serves as a stark reminder that while victories for the American worker can still be achieved, the struggle is ongoing.
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
The level of detail with which the filmmakers depict the unionization process is eye-opening.
Variety
Guy Lodge
It would be easy to build a halo-lit documentary portrait around this handsome, rabble-rousing father of three, but Brett Story and Stephen Maing's excellent "Union" is something more finely shaded and community-minded than that.
Cinema Daily US
Abe Friedtanzer
The fight for the rights of the more than one million employees at Amazon has not been easy, as chronicled in the rightfully less-than-optimistic documentary Union.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
"Union" offers a rare glimpse into grassroots democracy, which may be messy but is vital for our political system to survive.
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
Although it depicts a small struggle to give some workers the dignity all deserve, it's more compelling as a dystopian tale about how megacorporations are our modern-day empires, seeking to expand their purview and influence, no matter the human cost.
TheWrap
Ronda Racha Penrice
There are just too many assumptions being asked of the audience here without presenting enough facts to validate this struggle. And that missed opportunity is truly unfortunate.

Dwight Brown
A ballsy, grassroots doc that chronicles a ballsy, grassroots group of Davids ready to slay a Goliath.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
... It's a charged tale of workers' rights at a key time in the American workforce.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
"Union" can be a little frustrating in its narrow scope, but it's still worth a look.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
In part because of the empire-sized dauntingness of the ALU's opposition, "Union" perseveres as a vital and urgent portrait of labor organizing and its enduring possibility at a time when the fight for workers' rights has never seemed more one-sided.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
It's a nuanced portrait of the challenges of leadership and a revealing celebration of the values of persistence, solidarity and free weed.
