"The politics of Curtis's films do not bother me because his work does not display the consistent, perceptible act of choice that constitutes political engagement. If his movies were presented as some kind of fever dream collage, I might like them. Curtis vexes me because of his paranoid writing, introduces a soft and acidic coagulant method that a soft and acidic coagulant into any discussion. His commentaries destroy the cellular structure of ideas with a terminal vagueness that lulls me into a fitful sleep."
"Curtis reduces the viewer to a kind of flustered traffic cop, constantly yelling, "Wait!" His narration constantly leaps from a minor detail to a wide claim that sweeps everything off the table."
"Théorie Communiste's recent essay on conspiracism help us frame what Curtis is doing. "Just as anti-Semitism was the socialism of fools," the collective's authors write, “conspiracism is the class struggle of experts who are not situated anywhere in particular, not in society, nor along a politico-ideological spectrum.”"
