Divide and Conquer Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Director Alexis Bloom reaches back far enough into Ailes's unhappy youth in small-town Ohio to explain both his deep understanding of the heartland and his ruthless abuse of those in his professional orbit.
Film-Forward.com
Phil Guie
As delivered by actor Peter Gerety, who makes Ailes sound cold and downright reptilian at times, the quotes betray a deep-rooted cynicism that his actions reflected.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
A smart, incisive and sometimes scary look at how we got to this particular place in our history.
HeraldNet (Everett, WA)
Robert Horton
Anytime you might be in danger of sympathizing with Ailes, the movie provides testimony from one of the women he pressured into having sex with him.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
A shocking, well-researched and richly observant documentary from Alexis Bloom about the climate of lies and systemic sexual abuse that allowed the bad behavior of Fox News chief Roger Ailes to flourish until his victims said Time's Up.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Divide and Conquer is not content to skim the surface of Ailes's life.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It's both a memorial and a cautionary tale about unchecked power and ambition in America.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
This is the acid test for a good journalistic documentary: No matter how far back it reaches, Divide and Conquer always feels as if it's in the present tense.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
"Divide and Conquer" is well worth watching, underscoring the power Ailes wielded at the enterprise he ran for 20 years like a virtual kingdom.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
This is one action-packed doc, so to speak, replete with eyebrow-raising factual tidbits.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
If you're looking for a quick medicinal shot of how we got to Trump in the White House, the bracing Divide and Conquer feels like one of the more alarming civics courses you'll ever take.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
It conveys a credible sense of Ailes's psychology through the testimony of peers and co-workers who witnessed his ruthlessness firsthand.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
If you need a reason to believe that Ailes was a creep, the film gives you that. But the movie makes its case in a way that's a little too easy to digest.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A brisk and reasonably thorough dog trot through a life that was simultaneously invisible and all powerful, and it's goosed along with slick production techniques that more than once get in the way.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes" makes the shrewd choice not to view [Roger Ailes] in strictly ideological terms.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Ultimately, "Divide and Conquer" offers useful lessons - and maybe even a little hope - for people on both sides of the national divide, about just how we came to this terrible, but not irreversible, place.
Slant Magazine
Chris Barsanti
Alexis Bloom's keenly insightful and deeply depressing documentary is probably best viewed not as a record of the past but a document of what's to come.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
A well-made documentary that leaves you with the imprint of Roger Ailes' domineering arrogance, and the way he used it to shape American political reality and, finally, the world.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
A competent but conventional affair, highly watchable but low on fresh angles or bombshell revelations.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Fleet, lucid, and very watchable, the film is as ruthlessly effective and goal-oriented as its namesake.
