Joe Leydon, Variety: For the most part ... D'Souza gives the impression of someone obsessed with whitewashing any and all dark chapters in U.S. history books. Read more
David Ehrlich, AV Club: Graced with a hilariously definitive title, America is astonishingly facile, a film comprised entirely of straw man arguments. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Throughout the film, we see D'Souza walking through American landmarks, gravely studying them, deep in contemplation. It brings to mind the old joke about the government: Trust me. I'm here to help. Read more
