This is an unashamedly opinionated film. In Gore Vidal's America, the political coup has already happened. The right have triumphed and the human values of the liberals have been consigned to history. But how did this happen and who organized it?

Full Plot Details

This is an unashamedly opinionated film. In Gore Vidal's America, the political coup has already happened. The right have triumphed and the human values of the liberals have been consigned to history. But how did this happen and who organized it? In this film Gore Vidal's acerbic, opinionated and informed approach rips away at the facade of the new America. The film dramatizes Gore's political views and his concern at the present state of American democracy using interviews and historical footage of his famous appearances on television and talk shows over the last fifty years. In the recently filmed interviews Gore examines the course of American history and policy making and draws dramatic conclusions on the fate of the nation in the modern age.

Movie Reviews

NewsBlaze - 10/10 by Prairie MillerA compact but cautiously reverential film portrait of the late, brutally eloquent social commentator. While delving into whatever happened to the phenomenon of the literary celebrity, of which Vidal counted himself the last of that breed - and why.
The Film Stage - 9/10 by John FinkEngaging and challenging in moments, it stumbles to the challenge.
Eye for Film - 9/10 by Amber WilkinsonWrathall's considered, thorough and thoroughly entertaining film gives not just a sense of the man but also the importance to the world of iconoclasts like him.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Tirdad DerakhshaniRemarkably enjoyable, even joyous, the film chronicles Vidal's life from his privileged beginnings, his years at some of the country's most elite prep schools, and his shocking decision to join the Army instead of attend college.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfIt's not a filling cinematic meal, but juicy morsels of candor and a chance to acquire a deeper appreciation for Vidal's epic ego are worth the price of admission.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin...a smart and entertaining movie that can fairly be described as fun.
National Post - 8/10 by Nathalie AtkinsonThe film has such flavour that it will inspire you to dust off, or a new generation to seek out Vidal's work.
Newark Star-Ledger - 8/10 by Stephen WhittyIt does a great job of collecting Vidal's Wildean aphorisms on class, democracy and liberty.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by J. R. Jones[Filmmaker Nicholas D. Wrathall] couldn't have asked for a more striking scene than the one in which the writer shows him the grave he plans to occupy (beside his longtime companion, Howard Austen, who died in 2003).
PopMatters - 7/10 by Chris Barsanti...as much as it admires Vidal's last-lion status, the film never bows down in complete obeisance.
