Rabble rouser or activist? Opportunist or trailblazer? During his six-decade journey from pastoral prodigy to racial justice firebrand to elder media statesman, the Reverend Al Sharpton has been a polarizing figure on the national stage. Loudmouth is the definitive look at his life and battles for civil rights.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Lisa Kennedy
As straightforward as it appears, Loudmouth also invites an engaged but necessarily judicious scrutiny.
The Hollywood Reporter by Lovia Gyarkye
A sense of admiration and responsibility courses through the doc, an orientation that eventually curdles the narrative.
Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan
There is little in the film that offers insight into what makes him tick as a person.
This is a movie that observes Sharpton; it does not try to explain him or measure his impact. Those who are not already aware of his history may find it superficial or confusing.
The film, at two hours, still feels padded out with recent history. I would have liked, instead, to see some other dimension of Sharpton — who he is away from the protest marches. “Loudmouth” feels highly controlled, almost overly focused on Sharpton’s political identity at the expense of everything else.
