    The least self-aware documentary I have ever seen. Peck claims the white Europeans hypocritically demonized other peoples, and proceeds to do the exact same thing throughout the entire series.

    From a pure filmmaking perspective, Exterminate All the Brutes may be unparalleled among TV docuseries; the closest I can think of is the complexity and contextualization evident in the 2016 Oscar-winning 10-part series O.J.: Made in America. Peck doesn’t rely on tired visual tropes or techniques that would make it easy to just put on the show in the background while you’re doing something else. He demands our attention with wit, craft, and well-placed anger.

    The documentary feels fresh and current next to the ongoing debate over America’s past and iconography. ... What we do with the knowledge we gain from this amazing work is the question that Peck leaves unanswered.

    Despite starting off a bit all over the place, Raoul Peck’s Exterminate All The Brutes has a lot to say about a part of Western civilization’s history that absolutely needs to see the light of day.
