You've Been Trumped | Ratings & Reviews

"It’s not hard to vilify Donald Trump. It’s a feat easily achieved by exposing moments of his wealth-infused arrogance and complementing them with the odd close-up of his seemingly soulless pupils. You’ve Been Trumped jumps all over this opportunity, though it never forgets its key objective (even if it is edited like an episode of America’s Most Wanted)."

FlicksFlicks

"This mostly entertaining film lacks an official host or voiceover narration, which first works swimmingly but eventually becomes too diffuse."

VarietyVariety

"A vital, visceral antidote to Trump's slick PR machine."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Bound to surprise absolutely no one, Donald Trump comes off like a shameless boor in this slack, hiss-jerking documentary about his efforts to build a luxurious golf resort on hundreds of pristine acres of the Scottish coast."

Time OutTime Out

"Mr. Trump comes across as an insensitive, lying bully who will do whatever it takes to realize his dream of creating what he promises will be the world's greatest golf resort."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"It treads lightly on the earth: an example, as well as an education."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"In medieval times, the nobility enjoyed something called droit du seigneur, their right to deflower their serfs' virgin daughters before their marriage. These days the nobility has been replaced by billionaire bullies, who continue to screw us serfs."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"A potent study of the intimidating power of money not in theory but on the ground, an examination of how a wealthy man with a boundless sense of entitlement can strong-arm all opposition without really breaking a sweat."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Modest but revealing documentary."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Aside from the corny title, Anthony Baxter's You've Been Trumped is a fine, powerful piece of documentary filmmaking, using old-fashioned vérité techniques - and more than a little audience manipulation - to show how political influence and media savvy help the wealthy exert their will."
