	Author	Review
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Corben expertly weaves together talking-head interviews with reporters and political operatives (...) with archival TV news footage and some clever use of graphics (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A fun doc about a not-very-fun moment for American democracy"	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"Corben’s biting documentary works best when it takes a macro-view of opportunistic politics (...) [It is here] to show that the system is easily broken by those who have an interest in breaking it."	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"'537 Votes' is as slick and amusing as a real-life horror story gets."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"While some of the details might have faded with memory, '537 Votes' nicely encapsulates the descent of politics into a blood sport where rivals are viewed as enemies"	POS
United States	Ashlie D. Stevens Salon	"[It] succeeds in making the tumult and social upheaval of 2000 feel fresh again, while also delivering additional nuance to the story that may have been lost over the last two decades."	POS
