“In 39 years, I have never written these words
in a movie review, but here they are:
You owe it to yourself to see this film.”  
                                  -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

“Powerful, intelligent and surprisingly entertaining, Gore presents a compelling case.
You’ll believe a film can change the world.”
                                   -Helen OHara, Empire Magazine

“The film is more suspenseful than many thrillers and more emotional than many tear-jerkers. And, most of all,
it’s scarier than any horror flick.”
                                          – Donal Munro, Fresno Bee
