The critical consensus

What Utopia lacks in finesse it more than makes up for in passion.

****(*)Emma Simmonds, Total Film, 08/11/2013

Pilger made Utopia to make Australians sit up and listen. It's no-nonsense, provocative, powerful and sickening stuff.

****(*)Miles Fielder, The List, 12/11/2013

The filmmaker firebrand is in pungent form as he dismantles the hypocrisy of Australia's treatment of its indigenous peoples.

***(*)(*)David Parkinson, Empire Online, 10/11/2013

110 minutes is a hefty time in screen politics, especially when we know the makers’ message from scene one.

***(*)(*)Nigel Andrews, Financial Times, 14/11/2013

John Pilger's angry, impassioned documentary.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 14/11/2013

To see this is to engage with arguably the most shocking case of political and social oppression in an affluent country.

Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies, 14/11/2013

This is a grim and powerful film.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14/11/2013

Impassioned and righteously angry.

****(*)Mark Kermode, The Observer, 17/11/2013
