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.
Featured reviews
I watch many documentaries about far right, left, political parties and this was not a good product.
It spent a lot of time allowing the three subjects to self reflect on their greatness, directions inspiration etc.
No challenging questions.
Was an important subject but could have been better thought out and bring in other voices / experts to have a to and fro.
Your time could be better used than to watch this documentary.
Avoid.
This was really just a journey into the lives of three or four individuals. The doc doesn't really do a deep dive into the views of the Alt-Right. I think a documentary solely about Bannon alone would probably give us more insight. I don't recommend paying for this. If it is free, I still don't necessarily recommend.
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.

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.
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.
