‘Fauci’ Documentary Is Getting Rough Reviews From Rotten Tomatoes Users
Daily Caller ^ | October 11, 2021 | JACK KERLEY

National Geographic’s new documentary “Fauci,” released on Disney Plus Oct. 6, has inspired numerous Rotten Tomatoes users to write scathing reviews of the film that covers White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci.

So far, over 250 users have gone out of their way to critique the documentary on Rotten Tomatoes, resulting in an “audience score” of 4% at the time of publication. “Audience scores” began appearing on the website on Oct. 11, even though the theatrical release for “Fauci” landed on Sept. 10 and Oct. 6 for streaming on Disney Plus. According to Rotten Tomatoes’ FAQ, “the Audience Score becomes available after the theatrical release date for a film. Only after that will users be able to leave an audience review or rating for that film.”

“Approved Tomatometer Critics” were permitted by RT to place their reviews.

“I went into this with a very open mind, but the more I watched, the more I felt it was just propaganda. A very poorly made documentary that left much to be desired,” wrote one reviewer with another saying, “It was less informative as a documentary on Fauci and felt more like a long advertisement for a political candidate.”

“I’m not really sure who this movie is for. I wanted to give it a chance as it was being criticized greatly. From a non political standpoint I just don’t think this was necessary. it seems a little odd that a current pandemic would raise 1 man above all about his career almost like an idol. I thought this was disrespectful to all those lost to covid and disappointed as this feels like a propaganda piece,” said another reviewer who gave the documentary a half-star.

“Most movies like this are skewed towards support or criticism, but MAN, I could NOT believe how bad this one was. It is the most blatant propaganda doc of this sort I have ever seen in my life. Not one critical thing to say, everything is Fauci as moral crusader vs. an uncomprehending and scornful world,” said another half-star review.

The Internet Movie Database has seen similar reactions in user reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The IMDb user score at the time of publication is 1.5 out of 10. The documentary’s YouTube trailer has a like to dislike ratio of 7,700 thumbs up and 107,000 thumbs down at the time of publication.

So the propagandists can’t even make a gushumentary that more than 4 percent of viewers agree with. LOL! What total merd.

Part of a comment on IMDB by "Deception":
...[the film] simply adds more weight to criticism that he's been so bad as to require this as damage control.
Why anybody would waste time watching this propaganda about the little gnome dictator is beyond me. I have better things to do with my time. I just came here and IMDB for the humor...and I'm not disappointed.

Correction: The comment was by IMDB user “Nostrama.”

“Deception” was the title of his/her comment.

It got a 1.2 rating on the YIFY movie torrent site.

Translation: “Don’t even bother stealing this documentary.”

But...but...this is an insult to the Great Oracle Fauci, who gave us permission out of the goodness of his enormous heart to celebrate Halloween! How dare they criticize this giant of a man who saved the world from total destruction and continues to guide us on the path to salvation. How dare they!

One huge problem with this “documentary” TOO SOON! The freaking “pandemic” and all the policy prescriptions are still plaguing us! The source of the virus is still being debated and Fauci might well be the villian. This is like doing a documentary on a hurricane while it is still raging around you. The only reason to jump the gun on a subject like this is for political spin. Very, very ugly intentions for such a serious matter.

“fauci” movie attendance is so execrable that box office take is not being released ... that’s nearly unprecedented ...
