The sad thing is that there doesn’t appear to be much space for someone like Ardern in modern politics; less space than ever in fact. Read full review

Offering an eye-opening insider perspective that comes as a reminder of what conviction politics looks like when it is maintained even under extreme pressure, as well as being a celebration of feminism, Prime Minister holds appeal for audiences well beyond New Zealand’s shores. Read full review

In the fleet, pacey manner of the editing, toggling between private and public moments with highlight-reel efficiency, the film is a stirring glimpse of top-down kindness as a winning leadership style. Read full review

The documentary acts as an intimate study of what it means to serve others when it seems like the world is falling apart and to be a partner and mother at the same time. Read full review

It all comes across as one-sided, which makes the whole thing play like a PR video rather than a genuine examination of her premiership. Read full review
