Critical response

Owen Gleiberman writing for Variety said, "The great strength of The New Radical is that it's not on its subjects' side (or totally against them either). It's the rare documentary that lets you decide."[2] Katie Walsh in the Los Angeles Times called the film's neutrality "irresponsible" and "problematic," chastising the filmmakers for not taking a side.[3] Writing for RogerEbert.com, critic Glenn Kenny stated the work is a "scary movie about scary people that’s too much in bed with these people".[4]
