- 83The Film StageDan MeccaThe Film StageDan MeccaAll in all, it’s bracingly effective and not altogether dire.
- 80Screen DailyAnthony KaufmanScreen DailyAnthony KaufmanThough audiences may have heard this one before, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power preaches effectively to its choir, with a decade of fresh data and increasing cataclysms...to persuasively make its case.
- 80VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanGore has been talking up this issue for 25 years now, and as the film makes clear, he isn’t tired of talking. You feel he’s got enough wind to power another sequel. What’s extraordinary is that this one, after a decade of global-warming fatigue, feels as vital as it does.
- 80We Got This CoveredJordan RuimyWe Got This CoveredJordan RuimyAn Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power is an important and relevant worldwide look at the environmental crisis.
- 75ConsequenceDominick Suzanne-MayerConsequenceDominick Suzanne-MayerIt’s less an attack on big business (though such sentiments are certainly present) than a call for a rational assessment of proven facts. If it does occasionally dabble in hero worship of its subject, it also makes the effective case that somebody has to keep showing up when nobody else can be bothered.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe movie, in which Shenk and Cohen (makers of the standout eco-doc The Island President) take the reins ably from Davis Guggenheim, hardly can hope to create the sensation of its Oscar-winning predecessor. But it finds plenty to add, both in cementing the urgency of Gore's message and in finding cause for hope.
- 60Village VoiceBilge EbiriVillage VoiceBilge EbiriIt feels like a rushed journey through a vital, many-pronged debate.
- 40The GuardianJordan HoffmanThe GuardianJordan HoffmanAn Inconvenient Sequel is more a portrait of Gore than a call to arms. It ends with a sort of forced positivity, much of which is recycled directly from the first movie: political change is hard, but we can do it, morality demands it.
