Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleAn intriguing document, and the first significant film ever made about a former U.S. president.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Shawn LevyIt's a remarkably intimate look at the man and his thinking, and you wish for more history to flesh out the biographical aspects of his life.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrA documentary that falls somewhere between overlong and compelling as it follows the 39th president on his controversial book tour.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertShows a man whose beliefs, both political and religious, seem to reinvigorate him; he even carries his own luggage in airports and hotels.
USA Today - 8/10 by Claudia PuigThough not exactly a valentine to the octogenarian Nobel Peace Prize winner, the film is a lovingly rendered, candid and intimate portrait.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe portrait of Carter has been described as hagiography, but it isn't a stretch to view his quiet integrity as saintly next to the track records of his successors.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanIt's galvanizing to see it played out through the furious contradiction of Carter's personality. He is pious, stubborn, compassionate, testy, moral, unreasonable, and wise.
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Scott TobiasThese may be the qualities of a great man, but they're not exactly the stuff of a great documentary subject, especially given how hard Carter works to defuse the emotions stirred up by his book.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Andrew O'HehirI'm still not quite sure why it's so compelling. I think this movie's appeal is overdetermined, as we used to say in sophomore Marxist-theory class, meaning that it derives from so many sources you can't keep track of them all.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe minutiae of Carter's book tour isn't always enthralling, but his personality drives the film: pious, stubborn, devoted to his wife, curious, professional, warm and yet slightly removed from the fray, conciliatory, meticulous, self-effacing, funny, decent, intellectually rigorous and firmly committed to his positions.
