- 25New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithCheesier than a Kraft Singles truck but half as subtle, Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party is an attack on all things Democratic whose many valid points get buried under bluster
- 20The GuardianJordan HoffmanThe GuardianJordan HoffmanHillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party is the cinematic equivalent of a drunk man at a sports bar sucking back whole jalapeño peppers hoping for applause without ever being dared. The amusement in watching doesn’t compensate for the pity one feels for someone so desperate for attention.
- 12Slant MagazineClayton DillardSlant MagazineClayton DillardThe film is an incoherent and aesthetically barren harangue masquerading as a revisionist history lesson.
- 10VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen Gleiberman"Hillary’s America” is a slow-motion seizure of ideological rancor, served up in the filmmaker’s trademark style of wide-eyed schoolbook infamy. The only novelty here is that there’s been a subtle shift of emphasis in the D’Souza vision. It’s now really all about him.
- 0RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiRogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiLittle more than an extended version of the kind of political screeds that can be found online with only a minimum of effort, this is just a terrible movie.
- 0IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichAs a documentary determined to damn the Democratic Party, “Hillary’s America” is a profound failure of unprecedented proportions, an embarrassment for Republicans, Americans and pretty much the rest of humankind. As a parody of right-wing conspiracy theorists, this knotted spiderweb of ideological garbage is practically “Citizen Kane.”
- 0ConsequenceDominick Suzanne-MayerConsequenceDominick Suzanne-MayerHillary’s America is repugnant, and while it exists to get people who stand against it yelled at as much as anything, it’s essential that D’Souza not simply be written off as a hack pandering to a willing and lucrative audience regardless of the moral implications, though he is. D’Souza peddles the kind of “media” that’s become cancerous to the country he unyieldingly purports to worship.
- 0The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUtterly lacking nuance and any sense of proportion, the irresponsible film depicts Democrats not as possessing misguided political ideas but rather as "depraved crooks" and "hateful people."
- 0Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleUninterested in persuasion or education, this third documentary by Dinesh D’Souza is designed to aggressively reinforce prejudices and hostilities among true believing conservatives as it offers a “history” of the deliberately evil, completely corrupt, America-hating Democrats.
