Sovereign Ratings & Reviews
- thehave1March 11, 2026Acting very good, subject matter depressing, delivery effective but depressing, very much an America crazy idea exposed to the light of the world.
- Jean SeanJanuary 7, 2026EDIT: Given what we now know about Epstein and his dark cabal of world leaders and wealthy elites, this movie made to make conspiracy theorists look like psycho nutcases DID NOT AGE WELL did it? This film felt like it only existed to paint anyone who questions the narrative that the media and government tells you to believe as crazy loons. There's a good story somewhere in there but it's bogged down by its heavy handed message (like most movies with Offerman who seems to only pick roles he can make a statement on his beliefs with.) Despite that, I found the acting to be good but I did not enjoy the movie. I think movies like this further divide the country because it makes it seem like anyone with a differing opinion should be dismissed cause theyre clearly crazy and I find that to be extremely problematic.
- DarkoFebruary 18, 2026One of the worst movies ever watched. Save your self the time,dont Watch this shit.
- jake4222December 30, 2025ron swanson took a weird turn after parks and rec man
- tellumNovember 26, 2025I’m giving this a lower rating because the movie did all too good of a job of tricking me into thinking it wasn’t going to be as dark as it got, to the point of completely misrepresenting child services and having an out of place wholesome scene with a horse, all to seemingly make the ending more depressing. The acting is excellent, especially Offerman who nailed all the tropes of a TikTok grifter lunatic, but you will not feel good at the end and that is the design.
- ZokkiieOctober 27, 2025Solid performances, especially from Nick Offerman, but the movie never fully takes off. It’s tense and thoughtful, yet a bit uneven and slow in parts. Good ideas, just not quite great execution.
- BeeVee23October 5, 2025Great performance by Nick Offerman and nice to see "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl"'s Thomas Mann. The film plays out with a level of desperation that is hard to stomach
- jthygesenAugust 8, 2025A little meandering at times but all for a purpose. This is a difficult watch and having dealt with many sovereign citizens the writing is spot on for things I have heard them say. The cast is fantastic and when it all comes to a head it is a definitive gut punch.
- Gianni CavuotoSeptember 30, 2025I can not unsee this movie EVER. Powerful story that needed to be told, it's quite sad that it does. The acting was great all around. I wish the charters could have been flushed out just a bit better but overall it's solid. Now I'm sad, for all the people who will watch this and think it's some kind of propaganda movie to keep them down. So sad we have people who are not getting mental health help when they really need it.
- alihoneycuttSeptember 25, 2025Offerman and Quaid are excellent. The juxtaposition of the two principled men and their respective paths and faults is a satisfying touch. Entertaining film.
- Sean MurphySeptember 13, 2025Unbelievable acting. Tremblay and Offerman are at peak performance in this movie. The emotions are raw and visceral. The ability to act better than the performances they gave just doesn't exist. This is more like experiencing this world than experiencing a movie. The movie can be difficult to watch but not because it's lacking. I wouldn't have the words to do justice to how I feel about this movie. Thank you to those who wrote, performed and combined to provide this movie for consumption.
- nemothecaptainAugust 31, 2025Shame on those gun-loving American bigots, wrecking the lives and futures of their kids and their kids’ dogs. That’s why I don’t want to be American or have kids. But I’d definitely have a dog — and it would be amazing.
- Ross The BossAugust 16, 2025It's a little slow at times, but still a great movie.
- JCAugust 16, 2025POWERFUL
- Hercule PirateAugust 2, 2025Amazing slow burn with an epic end. Young minds are so helpless…
