“In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.”

— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Political will, Gore suggests, is a renewable resource. Maybe he has rediscovered his. And maybe, we figure, after we’ve seen it, we should discover ours.”

— Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

“What could have been mired in political rhetoric or techno-speak is instead illuminating, fascinating and sometimes frightening.”

— Claudia Puig, USA Today

“Gore’s very presence probably will prove to be an impediment to his message in the reddest of the ‘red’ states. But for those within its reach, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is a film we can ignore only at our own peril.”

— Jonathan R. Perry, Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)

“It’s as a piece of entertainment that the movie scores its most surprising victory, taking the audience on a dizzying emotional and intellectual journey.”

— Brett Buckalew, Filmstew.com

“An Inconvenient Truth is a necessary film.”

— A.O. Scott, The New York Times
