Critics Reviews

Owen Gleiberman Variety Feb 8, 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 Feb 6, 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 Feb 4, 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 Jul 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 May 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 Feb 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

Lucky Mar 4, 2020 Excellent! Very well done and most informative. See more Karen Mar 2, 2020 Liked learning about Judge Thomas and his history. Made me appreciate him more! See more Marie Sand Mar 1, 2020 Great documentary! The truth is so much better than what the media feeds you. See more Virginia J Feb 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 Feb 27, 2020 Excellent. Well presented and extremely informative. It really shows what an amazing life he has led. See more Leslie H Feb 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
