White Noise

WHITE NOISE is a shocking and extremely timely documentary that takes viewers inside the alt-right through multi-year discussions with leaders of the movement. The film is unique and powerful in offering unparalleled access to what seems to be becoming a not-so-fringe movement and unusually candid conversations with its members and leadership. Lombroso has created a significant historical document that should be required viewing in schools, for law enforcement, etc.

I watch many documentaries about far right, left, political parties and this was not a good product. It spent a lot of time allowing the three subjects to self reflect on their greatness, directions inspiration etc. No challenging questions. Was an important subject but could have been better thought out and bring in other voices / experts to have a to and fro. Your time could be better used than to watch this documentary. Avoid.

I don't think the documentary tries to expose the AltRigt or its rhetoric as much as to expose the airheads behind it, all egomaniacs who at one point or another were given enough attention to pursue it indefinitely as a lucrative business. The documentary shows the political culture of our time in painful poignancy, empty, void of any real substance or ethical argument and charged with individual motives and always tied to personal financial gain.

White noise is infuriating and annoying but if you don't turn it off you may very well stop hearing it and learn to live with it.

As a person who was not familiar with the alt-right, this doc allowed me to be a fly on the way which I absolutely loved because I was able to formulate my own opinion. The director shot scenes in a very personable way (I.e shot in cars a lot) and lingered on certain moments made me feel like I was actually there, which made me feel even more disgusted that it's possible for people to create and amplify a movement like this. This film is so relevant to the current climate, it couldn't have come out at a better time. I can't wait for this film to be on streaming services because it should be shared with everyone.

This was really just a journey into the lives of three or four individuals. The doc doesn't really do a deep dive into the views of the Alt-Right. I think a documentary solely about Bannon alone would probably give us more insight. I don't recommend paying for this. If it is free, I still don't necessarily recommend.
