Season 1 Reviews
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
A clear-eyed portrait that also delivers lots of laughs.
Decider
Sean L. McCarthy
"What they think is anger, is a real contempt for the choices that my fellow humans have made. I just feel betrayed by the bullshit in America that's all around us." [George Carlin] How many more Americans feel that way in 2022, do you figure?
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A celebration of an incredibly smart, undeniably funny man who had an amazing way with words-and a beautiful, lifelong disdain for any powerful institution or individual that oppressed and exploited others.
615 Film
Cory Woodroof
It's not quite as piercing as Apatow's Shandling doc, but it's still a pretty thorough and engaging look at who Carlin was and how he frustratingly refused to fit into the box you'd want him to fit in.
The Spool
Gena Radcliffe
[I]t paints a vivid, deeply insightful picture of someone who was less a nihilist than perpetually disappointed and heartbroken over the state of the world, and the country he loved.
The Establishing Shot
Jeff York
The two-part doc showcases all of the icon's incredible career across 50 years and shows sides of him that most have never seen before including the earliest routines of the legendary comedian, as well as intimate details of his personal life.
AV Club
Tim Lowery
The documentary does a nice job bookending with the most, let's say, timely version of Carlin while still digging into the others...
Showbiz 411
Leah Sydney
Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfilgo more than deserve the kudos their brilliant film is garnering. Carlin's articulate booming voice resonates as loudly today. Bittersweet and stunning, "George Carlin's American Dream" is a cinematic dream come true.
Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Four hours spent listening to George Carlin is four hours well-spent.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, who co-direct the documentary, do a wonderful job of weaving it all together and telling George Carlin's story in about four hours.
TheWrap
Thelma Adams
Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio have created the extreme fan-boy documentary of counterculture comedian George Carlin's life, times and personal struggles.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Martha K. Baker
The brilliant documentary, directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio delights and instructs.
National Review
Kyle Smith
Apatow has done much to illuminate the art form and its practitioners, and his new George Carlin documentary is another vital document.
Paste Magazine
Clare Martin
The result is a comprehensive, if sometimes a little dry, look into Carlin's life.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Assembled with a level of ambition worthy of Carlin's verbal dexterity, directors Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio have endeavored to contextualize the comic's work through key events that framed those years.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It digs into Carlin's personal life in a way that's honestly moving, showing the big heart behind the persona that was often falsely perceived as misanthropic.
Slashfilm
Witney Seibold
Rather than leaving audiences feeling sentimental about Carlin and his deep abiding love for individuals, Apatow and Bonfiglio repeatedly slam audiences in the face with how bad the world is now.
