January 25, 2011Rides a weird line between being revenge flick fun and totally inappropriate. Ultimately it's hard not to side with the filmmakers, who don't think you should get to privately embrace the culture and people who you publicly decry and campaign against.
-
August 29, 2010Provocative and compelling, this is an interesting documentary that boldly exposes the sheer hypocrisy of closeted gay American politicians who actively campaign against gay rights.
-
December 5, 2010I agree with the documentary "Outrage" that we all need to live our lives as openly as possible, especially those we love, whether we are ordinary citizens, in the armed forces or politicians. However, I do not agree with the film that there is any conspiracy on behalf of closet... read more

May 21, 2009fb796967648Not as bold or as angry as you want it to be, but this necessary portrait of where we are now is more than good enough. Naming names and letting people talk, this should be seen, and Kirby Dick (no kidding, that's the director) is a terrific filmmaker (THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED... read more

November 28, 2012fb100001266995067This Kirby Dick documentary was passionate and strong but it made statements that it could not backup. Such as the media covering up gay affairs and hardly talking about them. That's highly unbelievable and the film showed contrary if anything. I don't believe in the method of ou... read more

May 21, 2011fb20312798Its a bit scatterbrained in its approach, but its anger is understandable and I relate to it completely. The hypocrisy of these men who live one life and preach another is disgusting. They should be outed, I don't care what it does to their lives or careers . . . they cannot live... read more

June 17, 2012Really interesting documentary. It's really sad that closeted gay politicians are the gay communities biggest foe and roadblock in making real progress toward truly achieving civil rights for all.
-
January 27, 2010Pretty amazing and astounding. Kirby Dick is a great documentarian in the making. Outrage is not hating but just questioning why most closeted politicians for years have made an effort to keep homosexuals from having the rights they deserve.

June 4, 2012Although I'm unconvinced of an intentional nationwide media conspiracy to keep gay politicians in the closet, this film certainly does an excellent job of exposing these stories of hypocrisy and explaining the psychological reasons for such violent attacks against a group one fea... read more

March 13, 2010Watched online. Very good documentary, the content is disgusting though hardly surprising. Worth watching for anyone interested in politics and gay rights.

Outrage succeeds as activism, but it excels as a window into certain political psyches. Full Review

[A] passionate, engaging, but sometimes irresponsible exposé. Full Review

The film's pretty good about saying why so much in the culture encourages a political life in the closet, either tacitly or directly. But even The Advocate had a problem with calling it a brilliantly ... Full Review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
As always, Dick brings passion and immediacy to what's essentially a series of talking heads; his position on the issue is clear and powerfully argued. Full Review

There is an undercurrent of anger coursing through Outrage, but the anger is unusually restrained and eloquent. Full Review

As public officials, do closeted politicians deserve to be outed? The targets of Kirby Dick's provocative documentary are branded by their hypocrisy, making them -- in the eyes of those represented he... Full Review

It's a film that will cause a lot of talk, but its most compelling aspects are not its most obvious ones. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
It would be nice if the film had less of [McGreevey] and even more on some of its lying politicians. And was willing to entertain, at least for a moment, the idea that other motives might be at work t... Full Review
