Critic Reviews

Ella Taylor

Cevin Soling's lively documentary lays out in hair-raising detail the authoritarian underpinnings of America's child-centered culture. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

A startling wake-up call about appalling conditions prevailing in American schools, The War on Kids contradicts popular wisdom. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Offering neither balance nor solutions (a segment on the overuse of medications like Ritalin is especially powerful, but especially in need of counterargument), The War on Kids questions what kind of citizens we are producing. Read full review

Nick Schager

It’s a hysterical doc that’s a war on rational, levelheaded analysis. Read full review
