Summary
Reviewers say 'White Noise' provides an insightful examination of the alt-right movement, exploring its rise, fall, and the influence of social media. The documentary is lauded for its access, objective narrative, and humanizing portrayal of subjects. However, some critics feel it lacks depth, fails to clearly define terms, and could use more challenging questions and diverse viewpoints. A few argue it misrepresents the alt-right and offers a platform without adequate counter-arguments.
Featured reviews
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.
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.

An unsettling look into the rise and transformation of the alt-right, Lombroso gets unfettered access to the movement's most divisive and popular pioneers. A cautionary tale about the pernicious nature of racial bigotry in today's internet age, this documentary is powerful, pertinent and impartial allowing the viewer to draw his or her conclusions about the future of the alt-right.
White Noise takes a raw and up-close look at the alt-right movement as it gained significant momentum in 2016 through present-day. The level of access to some of the movement's most high-profile figures is stupefying.
Lombroso presents a largely nonpartisan narrative that truly allows the viewer to make their own verdict on the impact and effects of alt-right movement. Ultimately it lifts the cover on the unifying power of vitriol and hatred, and shows the path to power of this largely cast-aside movement.

A fascinating, unbiased character study of three distinct alt-right influencers. It's clear to see the progression of trust building between director Daniel Lombroso and the three prominent alt-right figures. Their motivations and desire for the spotlight candidly unravel as the film, and the movement, progress. Highly recommend for an objective, humorous look at the alt-right.
