Critic Reviews

Pete Vonder Haar

Worthy of attention. Susman has put together a well-crafted, witty commentary on corporate culture and the deals all of us make with ourselves to come to terms with modern existence. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

It's a real shame that the first half hour is a disorganized ramble that risks driving away the film's audience; a little artful editing would have gone a long way to fixing the problem. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

An admirably ambitious political satire but is stronger on soundtrack narration than on-camera dramatization. Read full review

Scott Foundas

The Anarchist Cookbook drops a few scant sparks onto a torch that, hopefully, some other filmmaker will come along and run with. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Strains for a jazzy, Oliver Stone-ish look, but at its heart it is a placid and conventional moral tale about the dangers of wandering too far off the pathway. Read full review

Michael Miller

Cookbook banks on the humor of its caricatures and the heft of its moral dilemma, but because it never develops its characters beyond types, it comes off as flat and forced throughout. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Under Jordan Susman's inept direction, these twentysomething airheads, angry about the proliferation of Starbucks outlets and other societal ills, all resemble nubile models. Read full review

The Ideas shown in the movie may be bull to what real ANARCHIST believe, but it showed how easily one manipulated idiot with the right influence could screw up what could have been a revolution. Which is what everybody really wants right? The Revolution???
