 "Hatfield and Hicks make the oddest of couples, and in this sense the movie becomes a study of the gambles of the publishing world, offering a case study that exists apart from all the movie's political ramifications."
-- Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
 "A fascinating but choppy documentary."
-- Susan Green, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"A compassionate, moving portrait of an American (and an America) always reaching for something just outside his grasp."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"It's a fine, focused piece of work that reopens an interesting controversy and never succumbs to sensationalism."
-- Adam Nayman, EYE WEEKLY

"A thoughtful and surprisingly affecting portrait of a screwed-up man who dared to mess with some powerful people, seen through the eyes of the idealistic kid who chooses to champion his ultimately losing cause."
-- Michael O'Sullivan, WASHINGTON POST
"It questions whether we really live in a world that can be divided neatly into black hats and white hats. And anyway, it wonders, is the guy in the black hat always wrong?"
