Critics Consensus

The Hunting Ground isn't director Kirby Dick's strongest work as a filmmaker, but the movie's powerful message more than trumps any technical weaknesses.

Read Critics Reviews

Ariana Vives Bitch Media The Hunting Ground succeeds as a damning portrait of how colleges have allowed sexual assault to go unchecked, valuing their own reputations over the lives of vulnerable students. Jan 25, 2021 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire Stunning, powerful, infuriating. May 30, 2016 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News An important film to see for parents, students and anyone involved with academia. Rated: B Apr 24, 2015 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest It has succeeded at something far greater by letting the audience come to know all the brave women and men it gets to come forward with their stories, putting a human face on this most inhumane of crimes. Nov 15, 2018 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage A useful picture that should be required viewing at freshman orientation. Rated: B+ Feb 23, 2016 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher U.S. universities have plenty of financial incentives to minimize rape on campus, as this enraging film demonstrates. But there are women fighting back... Feb 8, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle M Investigative documentarian Kirby Dick continues his specialized topical exposure from defiled church to dishonored military onto the primal grounds where those roots took place in universities, with slight missed opportunity in fleshing out thoroughly to find the true behavioral cause. This exposure’s main focus is conversing with how the victims were treated and how the academic authorities gone low without a care but their reputable stakes, especially when they acknowledged those general occurrences. It’s provocative under shock, respectfully approached, and ethically edged with built credibility. (B+) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a must see for all freshman college students. Zero tolerance for sexual assault! Women beware and courageous! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Superb documentary about what is REALLY going on on college and university campuses in the US (and around the world). A MUST SEE for parents sending their daughters/sons off to school. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Documenting the twisted way colleges handle sexual assault and rapes on campus. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Thorough, in-depth, and shocking, even watching it five years later. Required viewing for any high school senior. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Disgusting and cynical, this is an advocacy doc that ignores facts and glorifies proven liars. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
