- 75 TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox Zizek as a larger-than-life figure who manages to engage you even when you're not entirely sure what he's going on about.
- 75 Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker The film attempts to put Zizek's philosophy into practical, accessible terms. Accessible, of course, being a relative term.
- 70 Chicago Reader Chicago Reader The documentary bravely risks giving Zizek its own one-way hug.
- 60 The A.V. Club Noel Murray The A.V. Club Noel Murray It's a straightforward, relatively style-free piece, primarily of interest to those who want to hear Zizek's pronouncements. But what distinguishes the film is Zizek's peculiar self-awareness, which borders on paranoia
- 50 Variety Eddie Cockrell Variety Eddie Cockrell A little bit of Slovene philosopher Slavoj Zizek goes a long way. In the verbose profile documentary Zizek! there's a lot of esoteric, eccentric theories, and little context within his globetrotting life.
- 50 Village Voice Michael Atkinson Village Voice Michael Atkinson Taylor traipses around after Zizek on a continent-hopping lecture tour, and we get a face full of the man's tireless analysis, in a style that can only be characterized as hyperactive grizzly bear, complete with spit-spewing speech impediment.
- 50 The New York Times Dana Stevens The New York Times Dana Stevens Entertaining without being especially illuminating. If you must see only one documentary about a Slovene philosopher this year, it might be better to read his books.
- 50 Boston Globe Boston Globe Zizek is a revolutionary playing a comedian playing a revolutionary. Which makes him worth watching, even in this movie.
- 25 New York Post Lou Lumenick New York Post Lou Lumenick Hyperactive.
