Critical response to Five Minutes with Rae Dawn Chong presents a predominantly positive reception, although it remains a niche documentary with a specific audience. On IMDb, the movie holds a rating of 6.5/10 based on user reviews, signaling general appreciation. Viewers have praised the film for its authentic portrayal and heartfelt storytelling. Critics from sources such as Film Threat have lauded the documentary for its intimate access and the honest, raw insights offered by Chong herself, stating that it "illuminates the struggles of an often underrepresented actress with a compelling narrative."
