- 60New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierIs it all valid? Perhaps. Should the film's questions be addressed? Absolutely.
- 60The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerNot much here is new, but condensing it all into one zippy documentary makes for an ugly portrait.
- The result is far from evenhanded, but capable of raising important questions.
- 42The A.V. ClubThe A.V. ClubHorowitz has Michael Moore's smug tendencies without his schlubby everyman charm, which makes his attempts at goading humor out of uncomfortable interviews come off as unpleasant.
- 40Time OutTime OutCodirector Ami Horowitz hogs the screen like a cut-rate Michael Moore, bringing a numbingly simplistic irony and smug self-satisfaction to his faux–rabble-rousing exposé.
- 40Village VoiceNick SchagerVillage VoiceNick SchagerUnfortunately, mocking jibes and cutaways to Team America and Wonder Woman (among other movies and TV shows) establish a jokey attitude that weakens the overall case.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA damning account of institutional dysfunction whose ability to stoke indignation is undercut by its filmmakers' misguided comic antics.
- What truly makes U.N. Me repulsive is its crassness.
