Leave your thoughts about The Way I See It.
| Original-CinKaren GordonPorter and Souza together, in this film, are using his images as a reminder that a true leader can bring more than just relief from a chaotic time, and that the best leaders have always had a deep and measured well of compassion. |
| RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyExpect to be moved to tears during this reflective film as clear-eyed as Souza’s photo books, reliving the memories of dignity that once piloted the country and often pondering, “How could we have gone from this to Trump?” |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanThere’s some very, very funny stuff here. But the laughs gradually give way to a feeling of not just sadness and loss for a quality we no longer seem to see very much of in political life and public discourse, but a sense of creeping despair that we may never see it again. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsSouza comes off as a genuine and genuinely humble talent. There is, however, an element of intentional or inadvertent image-packaging that goes with any White House photographer’s beat. One wishes Souza were heard on the subject of the fine, tricky line between reportorial authenticity and visual flattery. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe Way I See It tells Souza’s remarkable story in straightforward and effective fashion, as even Souza himself seems surprised at the turn his life has taken. |
| CNNBrian LowrySimply in terms of presenting a draft of history through his earlier work and scalding commentary via his more recent endeavors, Souza's aim has been true. |
| TheWrapSteve PondThe Way I See It is a marvelous portrait of Souza and of two administrations that not coincidentally also works as a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump. It is decidedly not a film for Trump fans, but others may well find themselves moved and saddened by the contrasts between then and now. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattWhat it does have in happy excess is Souza’s affable presence, and his remarkable trove of images. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe greatest documentaries cut deeper and more unflinchingly. But if The Way I See It sometimes skims along the surface, the potent images of a truly gifted president in action offer a welcome journey back to a more hopeful era. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe movie is impeccably crafted and consistently engaging. |
