A documentary about the 2012 Iowa presidential political caucus.

| The New York TimesMiriam BaleThe film is a testament to the power of observational documentary to tenderly present hypocrisy and to show eccentricity peeking out from behind social masks. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirThis gripping and grotesque portrait of retail politics in the Hawkeye State, entirely free of editorial commentary, locates truths about the contemporary Republican Party and our flawed electoral system that a more tendentious account never could. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlCaucus is a lively, hilarious, upsetting crash-course in recent history. It's also revelatory at times, especially as it reframes infamous sound bites in their of-the-moment context. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoLike the character who finds the most success in "Caucus," the film's path to victory is paved by its attention to detail and staying small. |
| Pittsburgh Post-GazetteBarbara VancheriCaucus allows moviegoers to tag along, like a silent observer forbidden from asking questions, in the run-up to the Iowa Caucus in January 2012. |
| NonficsChristopher CampbellPerfectly captures the chaos of the caucus circus while delivering a different kind of political campaign doc, from the crowd rather than the candidate(s)' bus or war room. |
| VarietyGeoff Berkshire[A] fascinating but only intermittently insightful film. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzSchnack presents all this without commentary, stitching together appearances and speeches and strategy sessions. As is often the case, he doesn’t need to make the point about the quality of politics at work in Caucus. The candidates do it for him. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweAs a document of the American political process, Caucus offers an intriguing if limited snapshot of a specific campaign season, but lacks either breadth or depth. |
| The DissolveNoah BerlatskyIt feels like 100 minutes of arch nudges, a highlight reel from Politicians Say The Darndest Things. Political junkies may find that appealing, but for more general viewers, the film—like Rick Santorum’s campaign—feels largely irrelevant. |
