Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Combines a minimum of critical distance and a maximum of gratuitous flash.

rotten:
Rae's reluctance to delve into more complex, personal or specific territory -- with anecdotes, for example -- limits viewer involvement.
– Sheri Linden,

fresh:
[John] Trudell is the compelling presence at the heart of Trudell, Heather Rae's fascinating but superficial treatment of the poet, singer and tilter-at-windmills who has been at the barricades from the get-go.

rotten:
By preaching so relentlessly to the choir, this film misses an opportunity to show what got them to sing in the first place.
– Kenneth Turan,

fresh:
Despite the rambling finish, however, overall the film is a thought-provoking and graceful portrait of a tenacious peace warrior whose frankness is his greatest weapon.
