Entertainment Weekly Clark Collis

This hagiographic doc about the Hustler publisher and First Amendment obsessive is fueled by wonderful old footage.

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd

The Right to Be Left Alone does make Flynt interesting, but it isn't as searching as it might be.

PopMatters Cynthia Fuchs

More impressionistic than biographical, less apologetic than abstract, and decidedly non-chronological, it keeps a focus on the thematic connections among porn, democracy, and freedom--as varying emblems of the “America” Flynt extols.

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond

It’s a fascinating--if only semibalanced--look at the notorious architect of the Hustler magazine empire that really does leave us feeling that Flynt has gone to bat for our freedoms in a way few Americans have before.

New York Daily News David Hinckley

Flynt sounds quite reasonable. But the film leaves that part of his life sooner than one might expect and moves forward to recent years.

Variety Robert Koehler

Pic is, in effect, a rambling, lumpy account of Flynt's ups and downs, but serves as little more than a mid-grade PR feature for the cause. Any skeptical questioning during interview segments is nowhere to be detected.

New York Post Kyle Smith

When "Larry Flynt" isn't fatuous, it's chilling.
