Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

Merola unleashes a barrage of information, including much testimony from grateful patients, but he could have made an even more effective film had he paused to summarize each phase in Burzynski's long ordeal. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Clogged with court transcripts, medical records and repetitive (if moving) patient testimony, Burzynski tickles the mind only at the cost of trampling the eyes. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Despite its infotainment look, Burzynski ultimately proves convincing. Read full review

Boxoffice Magazine Mark Keizer

Burzynski may have credibility in the eyes of some, but the movie about him has no credibility, so no one will be receptive to its message. Read full review

S. James Snyder

Through all the fuzzy science, Merola sees a savior; you’ll see a dull editorial masquerading as objective reporting. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Burzynski is dull, dull, dull, even for an infomercial. Read full review

Ella Taylor

Who's the bigger charlatan--Burzynski or Merola--and why is this conspiratorial rubbish being released into theaters? Read full review

A truly stunning documentary. This film really should be required viewing for the entire planet. Classic case of science and profit clashing. There is also a sequel to this film, look out for that. I was further stunned when I saw that everything in the film is fully documented and verifiedA truly stunning documentary. This film really should be required viewing for the entire planet. Classic case of science and profit clashing. There is also a sequel to this film, look out for that. I was further stunned when I saw that everything in the film is fully documented and verified via the film's "interactive transcript" on its website. Wen you google this doctor's name you get all sorts of negative propaganda, and if you dig further you will find out it's only 2 or 3 people publishing these blogs, and they are paid by the cancer industry to do it! Astroturfing at its best.… Expand

If you believe that cancer research is important and if you also affirm that a society should offer the best treatment possible to its citizens, then watch this documentary and learn of Dr Burzynski struggle. He may be the key to the biggest breakthrough in the fight against cancer yet.If you believe that cancer research is important and if you also affirm that a society should offer the best treatment possible to its citizens, then watch this documentary and learn of Dr Burzynski struggle. He may be the key to the biggest breakthrough in the fight against cancer yet. Unfortunately by also being the inventor and solely patent holder of this new non-toxic cancer treatment, he is now faced with a legal battle as challenging as cancer itself against the FDA, NCI and multibillion pharmaceutical companies who will not sit and tolerate any serious threat to their profits. All the negative reviews focus on the heavy amount of transcripts and medical records that are presented as a way to say it is boring yet for me it was precisely what I needed to see in order to believe that Dr Burzynski is a credible and a serious person who is indeed bringing amazing results to patients once doomed to a terrible prognosis by regular treatment methods. It is a serious documentary focusing on an important issue, there will be evidence presented to support it. In fact there they have a whole website that continues to follow Dr Burzynski's struggle and where I found out that they already reached the necessary signatures in a White House petition to get Antineoplastons (Dr Dr Burzynski's treatment) approved for public use. Spread the word and get people to watch this documentary to form their own opinion. http://www.burzynskimovie.com… Expand
