San Francisco Chronicle
Beatty has fashioned a hilarious morality tale that delivers a surprisingly potent, angry message beneath the laughs. - 90
Chicago Reader
Warren Beatty sounds off angrily and shrewdly about politics, delivering what is possibly his best film and certainly his funniest and livliest. - 88
USA Today
Warren Beatty's uproariously rude Bulworth is 90% triumph. - 88
Chicago Tribune
His movie isn't a surgical attack at this problem and that; it's a cluster bomb intended to reap destruction, make a mess and jolt all who see it to react. - 80
TV Guide Magazine
Beatty's contribution to the ranks of recent political satire is bold, merciless and frequently very funny, and his performance is just plain fearless. - 70
Washington Post
This is a great liberal movie, which is to say, it will be loved most passionately by great liberals, and despised by the conservatives it contemptuously fails to notice. - 70
The New York Times
Its best moments come from witnessing the Senator's inspired unraveling, not from watching where it will end. - 60

Bulworth shoots along with great vigor, and its non-politically correct jabs are occasionally exhilarating.
