    This is so charged...too charged to ever be viewed objectively. I am a generally very liberal thinker and idealist, so this isn't coming from a place of Trump love or other BS. We should not be aggrandizing people who are CERTAINLY responsible for awful things so recently in media.

I am a generally very liberal thinker and idealist, so this isn't coming from a place of Trump love or other BS. We should not be aggrandizing people who are CERTAINLY responsible for awful things so recently in media. I can'g give this a good review because if a documentary that was identical to this one were to come out about a more right leaning thinker, it would likely be panned by critics. Critics seem to all think "oh wow, how strong and complex this compelling character is" for any liberal and "this person is no better than a monster, any good they've done is negated by the horror they've srought" for any conservative. The negative reviews will balance out the positive for perhaps a realistic portrayal of the work's quality. As a documentary it isnt a horrific work. As a piece of ideology or serious political opinion, it is an abomination. I will start taking these works seriously when I see a more egalitarian time arise in our reviewers regarding political pieces. I may be a liberal, but I'm no coward. Only a coward wants their opposition stifled. They fear they will have to use logic and rational to defend their point. Unfortunately most loud Trump detractors, Hilary supporters (and to be fair, conservative Trump lovers) fall under that category. Hilary Clinton is not a person to be celebrated...just like her husband, the Bush family, and any other partisan political family or entity. I give it a 4 because as a documentary it isn't bad work. I knock off 2 points because of the biased subject matter, the blatant manipulation of the viewer, and the subject. I harbor no amger like most of the user reviews do, just a disappointment with the reviewers and America as a whole.… Expand

    This is not a project that just uses old news footage and sit-down interviews to fashion a portrait of a notable figure. There is never-before-seen history here and it is as joyous as it is painful.

    It’s not exactly a hagiography, but there is no grit in the oyster.

    It’s a decent attempt at capturing the background that formed the backbone, a life of engagement, activism, “problem solving” and ambition and that makes “Hillary” worth your while. I don’t, however, recommend going at it in one fell swoop.
