Season 1 Review: Ultimately, in a world that includes curtain-ripping pieces like "Game Change" and "The War Room," Mitt feels perfunctory. It feels requisite more than informative. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Mr. Romney is likable in this depiction. But little in Mitt suggests that he is also electable. Read full review

Boston GlobeMark FeeneyJan 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: Mitt, Greg Whiteley’s fly-on-the-wall documentary about Mitt Romney’s two presidential campaigns, is always interesting (how could it not be, with the remarkable degree of access the candidate gave the filmmaker?) but never really involving. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The depictions of Romney and his clan are honest and intimate, sure, but honesty and intimacy don’t necessarily produce insight, and Mitt’s mistake is to assume that they do. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even people with Romney stickers still clinging to their bumpers will fidget through the stultifying middle chunk of director Greg Whiteley’s sympathetically observant but journalistically incurious Mitt, the product of six years of friendly, unfettered access to Romney and his family.

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJan 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: Mitt focuses on a couple of flashpoints: the unsuccessful 2008 primaries against John McCain, the successful 2012 primaries and the 2012 general election. In none of these do we get any “aha, so that’s how he really feels” moments. It’s more a portrait of someone who assesses each situation accurately, good or bad. Read full review
