Nick Broomfield goes in pursuit of Sarah Palin, interviewing her family and friends, for a decidedly unauthorized perspective on this growing force in American politics.
Leave your thoughts about Sarah Palin: You Betcha!.
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyBroomfield goes at the subject with his customary dogged stoicism, which is never less than good fun, but this is one Columbo episode where the culprit barely needed help being brought to task. |
| NPRElla TaylorNever one to take a back seat in his movies, Broomfield projects a shambling, Columbo-style bonhomie that gains him access to people who should be very afraid of letting him cross their threshold. |
| Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoAs divisive as his documentary "Kurt and Courtney," this made-for-British-TV doc by Nick Broomfield begins with the promise of neutrality - but it's a promise the film can't keep. |
| San Francisco ChronicleLeba HertzSarah Palin -You Betcha! is probably the scariest movie you will see all year. |
| Filmcritic.comChris Barsantia flat, repetitive fizzle of a gotcha documentary |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThough a great deal of this material (e.g., Troopergate) seems like old news, Broomfield is so dogged that he makes a case, in a deeper way than we've seen, that there's a terrifying remorselessness to Palin's feuding nature. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonBroomfield's eye-opening doc re-treads a lot of known ground about Palin, but also drags out into the full light of day the danger of her particular brand of sad, self-centered, desperate paranoia. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFleshing out now-familiar tales of misconduct and bad judgment, Palin investigation is entertaining but holds no dramatic discoveries. |
| Movies.comChristopher CampbellI can't really recommend the film to anyone who doesn't already like the filmmaker and onscreen character of Nick Broomfield. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezFor all of the documentary's wholesale condescension, you never doubt that Sarah Palin, conspicuous by her absence, has gotten exactly what she deserves. |
