It didn't delve deeply enough, unfortunately.

It’s as sobering a prism as any through which to view a troublemaker’s life, what hasn’t changed, and what count as incremental victories.

As straightforward as it appears, “Loudmouth” also invites an engaged but necessarily judicious scrutiny.

Loudmouth turns the screen into a time machine allowing the audience to travel back to NYC in the late 80s early 90s and experience the shocking similarities to what we are experiencing in the 21st century.

Fascinating as it is to see the sheer drive and determination of a man who builds his persona with unwavering dedication, Loudmouth can appear somewhat hagiographical in its approach.

Shows the intriguing contrast between the Sharpton of the '80s and '90s and the man of today, also showing that the previous Al was much more interesting.

What I liked about the movie was Rev. Al Sharpton is a beast who doesnt bite his tongue. I really appreciate a strong man like Rev. Al Sharpton. Rev. Al still determines to help the less fortunate and reach out to anybody who needs help. To Singer John Legend and the rest of the team players Good Job well done on this documentary of Rev. Al Sharpton..

This was obviously way too biased but who is surprised. Check his tax returns. He has done nothing for this country besides cash the checks

I feel it's a must see for the history of how long Rev Al has been in the fight for civil rights! He wasn't perfect but he's done way more good than bad and has to be recognized for devoting his life to service in helping people!
