Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Zizek as a larger-than-life figure who manages to engage you even when you're not entirely sure what he's going on about. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

The film attempts to put Zizek's philosophy into practical, accessible terms. Accessible, of course, being a relative term. Read full review

James Westcott

The documentary bravely risks giving Zizek its own one-way hug. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Entertaining without being especially illuminating. If you must see only one documentary about a Slovene philosopher this year, it might be better to read his books. Read full review

Eddie Cockrell

A little bit of Slovene philosopher Slavoj Zizek goes a long way. In the verbose profile documentary Zizek! there's a lot of esoteric, eccentric theories, and little context within his globetrotting life. Read full review

Taylor traipses around after Zizek on a continent-hopping lecture tour, and we get a face full of the man's tireless analysis, in a style that can only be characterized as hyperactive grizzly bear, complete with spit-spewing speech impediment. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Well i might be partial here - i am Slovenien and quite fascinated at Zizek, who without being partial, is one of most intelegent human beings on earth. Just because we can't get him,....
