Bill Nye: Science Guy Ratings & Reviews
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Bill Nye: Science Guy works best because the profile it builds around its subject is a bit rough around the edges.
Punch Drunk Critics
Roxana Hadadi
... what the documentary Bill Nye: Science Guy achieves, as the best documentaries do, is peer behind the curtain of illusion and try to find some kind of truth.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
There's now an urgency, a sense that we are in peril because fundamental truths about how the world works are being ignored and ridiculed.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
The gloves come off in Bill Nye: Science Guy...
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Channeling Nye's own gift for making complex ideas simple and clear, the filmmakers edit together these various aspects of Nye's life with deceptive ease, drawing on interviews and archival material and following him throughout his hectic schedule.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Biggest takeaway? Nye's previous mission of making science accessible to children is nothing compared to the challenge in convincing adults of the perils of climate change.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This documentary gets the best of both worlds, building a personal story of the likable, trustworthy Nye, as well as offering a serious, hopeful love letter to science itself.
Washington Post
Lora Grady
"Bill Nye: Science Guy" offers an absorbing and entertaining portrait, of both the science evangelist and the guy behind him.
Film Inquiry
Arlin Golden
David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg smartly avoid the bio-doc pitfall of painting their subject as some sort of infallible figure whose achievements alone would silence any critics.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Should warm the hearts and minds of science lovers, weather enthusiasts, environmental watchdogs and astronomy buffs, all while inspiring viewers to ask questions and seek answers.
L.A. Weekly
Tatiana Craine
Directors David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg have tapped into something deeper than vanilla hagiography.
Film Journal International
Lisa Jo Sagolla
A delightful chance to walk in the shoes of a tireless promoter of science education.
New York Times
Andy Webster
[A] delightful, revealing documentary ...
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An edifying glimpse into the life and work of a TV celebrity transformed into a passionate critic of climate change.
The Film Stage
John Fink
Mixes science and inquiry with an intimate look at the personal trials and tribulations of Nye.
Variety
Joe Leydon
The beloved TV host strives to be taken seriously in his battle against anti-science forces.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Assuredly, and productively, a project made from the modern persona of Nye.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Co-directors David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg ... effectively chart their affable subject's trek from mechanical engineer to renowned Science Guy to passionate defender of the planet.
IndieWire
Steve Greene
What really shines through here is the moments where [Nye's] old instincts kick in.
Austin Chronicle
Michael King
The film is mostly as congenial as its subject, but it also explores Nye's personal and familial background.
