The recently released anti-child-trafficking drama, “Sound of Freedom,” starring Jim Caviezel, has faced a widespread boycott from major film critics. Notable outlets such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Hollywood Reporter have chosen not to run reviews of the film, while only a few outlets, including Variety, Rolling Stone, and RogerEbert.com, have provided reviews since its release on July 4. The reasons for the boycott and lack of coverage remain unclear, as critics and film editors have not responded to inquiries

The “Internet Movie Data Base” (IMDB-owned by Amazon—https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7599146/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_Sound%2520of%2520Freedom-—rates “Sound of Freedom at 8.3 out of 10.

IMDB’s ratings are made by everyday film viewers, NOT la-dee-dah film critics. IMDB is far more influential a NYT or LAT film review.

I saw the movie and read Ebert’s review. I do t think he was fair, he seemed to be looking for reasons to pick it apart.

“The reasons for the boycott and lack of coverage remain unclear, as critics and film editors have not responded to inquiries.”

On the contrary. I don’t think anything has ever been more clear. They’re against the film because they are ‘for’ what the film exposes and reveals as one of the main evils ongoing in the world right now. Not rocket science stuff. Of course, the leftists will never admit to being for child trafficking, or any other evil in this world. They’ll label it as something else (conspiracy theories) and demonize those that are exposing their debauchery.

Yes. The media marginalizes QAnon as a crazy conspiracy theory like the did birthers. Both the reaction and nonreaction proves that Satanic left views pedophilia as a pagan ritual. Unfortunately for them it provokes the Streisand Effect and arouses more suspicion.

Spot on. Imagine, if you will, the movie “Eyes Wide Shut” theme... only, instead of grown, adult naked women presented at the elite “parties”... there would be naked children of both sexes made available to the elitist perverts. Unfortunately, it has probably happened more than we would ever want to know. It would be a horrifying scene to most of us. Epstein’s island parties comes to mind here. And look what happened to Epstein to keep the elitists “safe” from exposure.

George Carlin hated conservatives. He indirectly helped create this mess. He hated the elites when they were mostly considered conservative.

“They are pushing people too far ….”

It may be that they don’t fear pushing too far because they can “win” any election they need to.

Took the wife to see the movie last Friday. Dinner and a movie it was a nice evening. Too bad that there are so few movies worth seeing these days.

The reason they are not reviewing it is VERY clear. It is because they are in favor of child sexual abuse.

Assume they ALL are until proven otherwise. Anyone who objects to the movie "Sound of Freedom" is probably guilty.

Because most of the major critics are pedophiles
