    Leave politics aside for a second, this documentary will blow any close observers mind; a group of people so awe-strikingly normal.... determining the news of an election that dominated all our lives. People this only happened 14 months ago - but the 2012 campaign was longer than that. This movie is much needed closure for all those years. I highly recommend it.

    Wonderful look inside the life of a kind and honest family man, who wanted only the best for his country. An empathetic depiction of someone the media refused to reveal.

    A very interesting look into the process of a presidential campaign, and what it means for both the candidate and his family. This is best watched from an apolitical standpoint, and the documentary does its best not to make political commentary, no pass judgement one way of the other on its subject, overall, solid.

    Good, but not great. Worth a watch, but not a must watch.

    This a somewhat interesting documentary, but it's unlikely to change your opinion of Mitt one way or the other and it doesn't offer anything up that truly surprises or impresses. There is no doubt that Mitt was presented horribly as a candidate and while this will confirm that he is not in fact an automaton that's about all it    Good, but not great.

    A major determining factor in whether you will enjoy it or not is how much you already know about elections and how political campaigns work. If you don't know too much, then I would say you will find this enlightening. If, however, you are into politics or studied it extensively, you won't find anything you don't know in this film.

    It's not bad. In fact, it's decent, but it really is one of those films that pays off more when you don't know anything going in. If nothing else it may put to rest the idea that Mitt is some kind of robot....I think. Wait, what if that's what they want you to think.

    If it seems interesting to you, go check it out...just don't expect it to be some kind of revelation. You get a pretty good look at the inner workings of a large scale campaign and you get to see a Mitt Romney who actually seems like a human.    … Expand

    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.

    The film offers a version of the real Mitt, performative and authentic, charming and awkward, occasionally at the same time.

    Mr. Romney is likable in this depiction. But little in Mitt suggests that he is also electable.
