White Noise (2020)
The Atlantic's first feature documentary is the definitive inside story of the movement that has come to be known as the alt-right. With unprecedented access, White Noise tracks the rise of far-right nationalism by focusing on the lives of three of its main proponents: Mike Cernovich, a conspiracy theorist and sex blogger turned media entrepreneur; Lauren Southern, an anti-feminist, anti-immigration YouTube star; and Richard Spencer, a white-power ideologue. Directed and shot by Daniel Lombroso in his directorial debut, this film takes the viewer into the terrifying heart of the movement -- explosive protests, riotous parties, and the rooms where populist and racist ideologies are refined, weaponized, and injected into the mainstream. Just as the alt-right comes to prominence, infighting tears the movement apart. Spencer and Cernovich clash over the role of white nationalism in conservative politics. Southern struggles to reconcile her leadership role with the sexism and misogyny of her peers. Lawsuits mount and internecine fights erupt, but even as the alt-right fractures, its once-marginalized ideas find a foothold in mainstream discourse; in Republican politics; in the establishment right-wing press, especially Fox News -- and on the world's biggest social-media platforms. As white-nationalist violence surges in America and across the world, White Noise represents an urgent warning about the power of extremism, and where it's going next.

    Summary

    Reviewers say 'White Noise' provides an insightful examination of the alt-right movement, exploring its rise, fall, and the influence of social media. The documentary is lauded for its access, objective narrative, and humanizing portrayal of subjects. However, some critics feel it lacks depth, fails to clearly define terms, and could use more challenging questions and diverse viewpoints. A few argue it misrepresents the alt-right and offers a platform without adequate counter-arguments.

    Noise

    I don't think the documentary tries to expose the AltRigt or its rhetoric as much as to expose the airheads behind it, all egomaniacs who at one point or another were given enough attention to pursue it indefinitely as a lucrative business. The documentary shows the political culture of our time in painful poignancy, empty, void of any real substance or ethical argument and charged with individual motives and always tied to personal financial gain.

    White noise is infuriating and annoying but if you don't turn it off you may very well stop hearing it and learn to live with it.

    Confused

    Not sure if this is pro nationalist or anti nationalist.

    Has no substance or direction.

    Insightful, almost hilarious view of the alt-right

    A fascinating, unbiased character study of three distinct alt-right influencers. It's clear to see the progression of trust building between director Daniel Lombroso and the three prominent alt-right figures. Their motivations and desire for the spotlight candidly unravel as the film, and the movement, progress. Highly recommend for an objective, humorous look at the alt-right.

    A good documentary that falters somewhat in its second half

    It's interesting and unnerving at times to get a perspective from the subjects in this documentary.

    There are no real "gotcha" moments or overt techniques like narration specifically calling the subjects out, but I don't feel like the documentary is endorsing their beliefs (maybe some viewers would feel differently).

    Sometimes what they say makes them come across pretty bad- plus editing, in terms of choosing what to show, of course. Funniest part was Cernovich exercising like an absolute clown, and after taking a huge number of supplements with two espresso shots (and he later says - while trying to sell his products online - that he doesn't like too much caffeine!)

    I definitely feel like he was running faster than usual because the camera was on him - almost sprinting - and there's no way he keeps up that pace while trail running (presumably long distance? Who knows. But he looks like he's trying to flex 😅)

    It's interesting for the first half or so, but I felt like it ran out of steam and new ideas in the second half. Felt a bit repetitive, and I felt like the second half either needed some unique scenes to show or concepts to explore, or otherwise needed to build to something climactic, and it didn't really do either for me. That's the only big flaw here, but it's unfortunately quite a significant one.

    Otherwise it's definitely good stuff, and at least half of it is quite compelling.

    Stunning, chilling front row seat to the alt-right

    WHITE NOISE is a shocking and extremely timely documentary that takes viewers inside the alt-right through multi-year discussions with leaders of the movement. The film is unique and powerful in offering unparalleled access to what seems to be becoming a not-so-fringe movement and unusually candid conversations with its members and leadership. Lombroso has created a significant historical document that should be required viewing in schools, for law enforcement, etc.
