The A.V. Club - A.A. Dowd
An eye-opening, often-infuriating new documentary.

The Hollywood Reporter - James Greenberg
Williams is to be commended not only for his filmmaking skill, but also for pulling back the curtain on a most disturbing situation.

Village Voice - Alan Scherstuhl
Kudos to the filmmakers for so adeptly laying out the history of American evangelicals' Ugandan mission, and for noting that HIV infection rates there have gone up since the abstinence-only education started.

The Dissolve - Andrew Lapin
[A] gripping, urgent, and often horrifying documentary.

The New York Times - Jeannette Catsoulis
A searing look at the role of American evangelical missionaries in the persecution of gay Africans, Roger Ross Williams’s God Loves Uganda approaches this intersection of faith and politics with some fairness and a good deal of outrage.
