Owen Gleiberman Variety 02/08/2020
"Created Equal" is structured as a monologue of self-justification, a two-hour infomercial for the decency, the competence, and the conservative role-model aspirationalism of Clarence Thomas. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 02/06/2020
With its shrewdly chosen archival clips and lack of opposing voices, this lengthy, often tone-deaf section (especially from today's #MeToo vantage point) plays as if Thomas simply wanted his say for a new generation and got it... Go to Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association 02/04/2020
A two-hour unperceptive documentary leaves the quietest man on the Supreme Court no less an enigma than before the opening credits rolled. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/13/2020
This narrowly focused biographical documentary ... interviews only two people: Clarence Thomas and his second wife, Virginia 'Ginni' Thomas ... Why not interview more people who know Clarence Thomas too? Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 05/15/2020
Integrity is not a word I would use in connection with this film. I think some of its messages are not just one-sided; they are dangerous in the way they add to the deep political divide plaguing this nation. Go to Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 02/21/2020
86/100
The whole idea of the movie is to show Thomas as an avuncular gentleman of high principles and ideals... There's no pretense otherwise, and though I guess you could call this agitprop, it's a very honest kind of agitprop. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lucky 03/04/2020 Excellent! Very well done and most informative. See more Karen 03/02/2020 Liked learning about Judge Thomas and his history. Made me appreciate him more! See more Marie Sand 03/01/2020 Great documentary! The truth is so much better than what the media feeds you. See more Virginia J 02/29/2020 It was inspiring to hear Justice Thomas speak his own words re: his life and journey to become a member of the Supreme Court. See more FIONA T 02/27/2020 Excellent. Well presented and extremely informative. It really shows what an amazing life he has led. See more Leslie H 02/27/2020 There are few people holding government office that I'd spent money and two hours listening to their story to better understand them. Judge Thomas has always been a bit of an enigma for me since his nomination and the hearings. I was surprised at the depth of coverage (childhood, relationships, hearings) and his compelling comments throughout. Highly recommend for either side of the aisle. See more Read all reviews
