Critics' reviews

"Daring, imaginative and defiantly challenging (...) Despite its bleak subject matter, 'Exterminate All the Brutes' is visually gorgeous, at times even easy to watch"

Inkoo Kang: The Hollywood Reporter
"The series isn’t an example of vanity. It’s a demonstration of how individuals reckon with the past. 'Exterminate All the Brutes' does its best work under these conditions, and the rest of the time remains watchable"

Andrew Crump: The Playlist
"Exterminate All the Brutes’ jumbles old and new, fact and fiction to condemn Western colonizers (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"The series yanks together too many disparate elements without the necessary connective tissue (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Chris Barsanti: The Playlist
"A supremely personal, impressionistic yet intellectualized, four-hour cascade of images, ruminations and historical aperçus"

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"This is a project whose poetry and its ability to look into the heart of human darkness feel linked."

Daniel D'Addario: Variety
"It’s a sprawling academic narrative, but it’s Peck who makes it approachable with his own passion and ambition."

Robert Daniels: IndieWire
"A striking piece of nonfiction work that has the intellectual rigor of an advanced history course (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
