You've Been Trumped Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"You've Been Trumped" is a potent study of the intimidating power of money not in theory but on the ground, an examination of how a wealthy man with a boundless sense of entitlement can strong-arm all opposition without really breaking a sweat.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Earnest if rough-around-the-edges ...
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I imagine Trump's idea of beauty is the antiseptic tackiness of the tinfoil towers he erects around the world.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
First-time director Anthony Baxter jettisons all pretense of impartiality, without adding any of the intelligent outrage of his evident influence, Michael Moore.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Mr. Trump comes across as an insensitive, lying bully who will do whatever it takes to realize his dream of creating what he promises will be the world's greatest golf resort.
AV Club
Noel Murray
A fine, powerful piece of documentary filmmaking, using old-fashioned vrit techniques -- and more than a little audience manipulation -- to show how political influence and media savvy help the wealthy exert their will.
Slant Magazine
Calum Marsh
Though Anthony Baxter seems driven by empathy rather than greed, his film is ultimately as reductive and misleading as the expensive Trump PR campaigns he righteously rails against.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Anthony Baxter gives us a vivid documentary called You've Been Trumped that treats [Donald Trump] as a smooth, credible, inevitable historical force.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
If you still have any questions about the personal character of Donald Trump, check out this muckraking British documentary.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Underdogs stand their ground in Anthony Baxter's modest but revealing doc.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
As Baxter demonstrates with agonizing, unflinching clarity, the result was a community and a land that were literally rolled over in the name corporate greed - and with the apparent blessing of the local authorities.
NPR
Jeannette Catsoulis
Baxter may not be the most accomplished filmmaker, but he's on the side of the angels here and his determination to give the locals a voice denied them by major media coverage lends his film momentum and heart.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
Donald Trump is the face of America here, representing all of us and demonstrating our values abroad. Hopefully this sharp rendering, or something very much like it, is the legacy for which he and his family will be remembered.

Louis Proyect
Supremely entertaining documentary about the salt of the earth versus Satan.
About.com
Jennifer Merin
Donald Trump faces a reality show-down in Scotland in this compelling and dramatic environmental documentary.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
The star is still Trump. Why this gigantic turd with legs remains the object of fascination to so many speaks unfortunate volumes about the plummeting IQ of the mass audience.

... a horror show to top anything you've ever seen in a Saturday night creature feature.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Collectivist in spirit, this mostly entertaining film lacks an official host or voiceover narration, which first works swimmingly but eventually becomes too diffuse
PopMatters
Sarah Boslaugh
You've Been Trumped follows the progress of Trump's monstrosity ... and it's a horror show to top anything you've ever seen in a Saturday night creature feature.
