America Magazine
Very informative documentary about the corporatization of the academy, drawing from experts as well as boneheaded libertarians like Peter Thiel who hoists himself on his own petard.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Rossi gives us a survey course when what we need is a seminar; the movie is a useful "What's Wrong With College 101" but the advanced study remains to be done.

What makes "Ivory Tower" interesting is how it looks at not just the debt but the causes behind it, and other problems besetting higher education.

A convincingly comprehensive portrait of higher education in the United States, the film trains its lens on everything from storied institutions to anonymous community colleges...
A.V. Club
...an elusive value that Ivory Tower conveys through other words and images: Universities exist not to answer the question but to register and reiterate its force.
