Plaudits for This Film is Not Yet Rated
"A terrific documentary" Rolling Stone
"If there were a prize for the [Sundance Film] Festival's most rabble-rousing film, documentary or otherwise, it would go hands down to This Film Is Not Yet Rated." Newsday
"A light-hearted but ultimately serious exploration of the cultural chill imposed by the Motion Picture Association Of America's rating system, Kirby Dick's new documentary exposes the process for the sham it is." Screen
"pic's bracing, hilarious and out-there elements make it a landmark, which will translate into heavy attention in all situations, including fests and theatrical release... As outrageous, and sometimes outrage-inspiring, entertainment, This Film Is Not Yet Rated is a blast" Variety
"This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Kirby Dick's raucous assault on the MPAA and the studios that support it, climaxes in the brazen identification of clandestine appeals-board members-including a top Searchlight exec whose "gotcha!" outing drew gasps and giggles from the press screening crowd." Village Voice
"...a delightfully acerbic skewering of the Motion Picture Association of America and its rating system... " indieWIRE
"...Hilariously entertaining and gleefully subversive, " Rated " is a delicious expose of the endemic hypocrisy that infests Hollywood's most famous organization..." indieWIRE
"Dick's film manages to be both genuinely investigative but also sly and playful and funny all at the same time." Ain't It Cool News
"I urge you to seek it out and make sure you see it. It's a great way for me to start off this movie year, and a nice next step from one of our most interesting documentarians" Ain't It Cool News
"a devastating attack on the MPAA's ratings and how they are administered" Chicago Sun Times
"an amusing and informative documentary peek at the mysterious movie-ratings procedures of the Motion Picture Association of America." Philadelphia Daily News
5/5 stars "Brilliant... It's vital that everyone who cares about film see this documentary." Film Threat
"a fascinating view on a group and process we've never seen that somehow has unbreakable control over almost every movie we see." Cinematical
