Rotten Tomatoes gives the documentary a score of 33% based on reviews from 12 critics, which is simply embarrassing.
Again, Peter Navarro's attempt to join the intellectual crowd would have long been forgotten (his book and film go back several years), if not for the fact that he is holding one of the most powerful positions in his country, advising the President, who often calls him "My Peter", during the time of one of the greatest crises of the last hundred years.
Unbalanced and xenophobic, Mr. Navarro has many enemies even in the White House, but he also has some powerful allies, including the president himself.

On 26 December, 2019, The New York Times, decided to analyze Peter Navarro, and it's conclusions ended up being very far from flattering:
"For three years, Mr. Navarro, 70, has been Mr. Trump's trade warrior, pushing the President to rip up trade deals and rewrite them so they are more favorable to American workers. An academic with little previous government or business experience, Mr. Navarro has managed to exert enormous influence over United States trade policy by tapping into the President's disdain for globalization and encouraging his view that China has been "robbing us blind."
China specialists tend to view Mr. Navarro warily. He does not speak Mandarin and had visited the country only once before traveling there in 2018 as part of a White House delegation. Some scholars sneered in October when it emerged that Mr. Navarro had taken creative license to quote a fictitious source Ron Vara in several of his non-academic books. Even his own colleagues have chafed at his aggressive approach to China and have at times tried to block Mr. Navarro's access to the president."
Mr. Navarro forms part of the club of extremely dangerous men. This club includes individuals such as Steve Bannon, John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.
