  • Summary: In a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmaker Ami Horowitz exposes how an organization created to ennoble mankind actually enables chaos and global discord. As disturbing as the picture painted by U.N. Me may be, Horowitz manages to keep us laughing throughout the film. (Disruptive Pictures) Expand

    If it weren't so shocking, it would be a lot funnier.

    Not much here is new, but condensing it all into one zippy documentary makes for an ugly portrait.

    The result is far from evenhanded, but capable of raising important questions.

    What truly makes U.N. Me repulsive is its crassness.

  1. By focusing only on a selection of (arguably) worst cases, the filmmakers are undermining the important work of thousands of dedicated UN staff and the crucial role the UN plays in maintaining a global platform for global issues for all governments, which enables governments to talk rather than go to war on each other.
