The problem, of course, is that the president himself was neither [hero nor martyr], and no amount of hand wringing -- however justified -- can make him one.

O sensacionalismo ocasional e a péssima utilização de clipes cômicos não impedem que o filme convença em suas denúncias sobre a conspiração republicana para derrubar Clinton.
07/19/04
It's about a power grab that almost overturned an election and about a dark element in U.S. political life that's still out there, and flourishing.
07/16/04
Top CriticA sobering chronicle of the depressing circus of persecution and pseudo-scandal that was the Clinton years.
07/14/04
Top CriticWhile The Hunting of the President is an otherwise solidly made documentary [the] little nit picks keep it from being on top of my best documentary list.
07/12/04
Thomason and Perry have a wealth of material, which, despite their MTV paced editing and irreverent treatment, builds to some devastating conclusions
07/11/04
No matter one's party affiliation, docu is worth seeing for its eye-opening look at how disreputable characters can impact government -- and how easily the mainstream media can be duped into covering scandal-smelling leads.

Top Critica passionate and worthy assault on an ugly period in our history
06/26/04
Compelling and relevant documentary.
06/25/04
Comes off not as an outrageously slanted screed, but as a well-researched source of righteous outrage.
06/25/04
Top CriticThe film wrestles only fleetingly with how profligate Clinton was in his personal risk- taking, and how that jeopardized his presidential project.
06/25/04
Even those sympathetic to the picture's cause will recognize it as a case of shoddy journalism, not so much due to its partisan mind-set but because it lacks clarity and revelation.
06/21/04
Top CriticWhile there may not have been a widespread GOP effort to overthrow Clinton's administration via dirty tricks, this gripping documentary contends that some shockingly sleazy efforts to undermine Clinton's character and authority were very real.
06/18/04
In stringing the evidence together in one place, it makes a powerful case.
06/18/04
Top CriticContains little that is particularly new or compelling, save an emotional interview with Whitewater principal Susan McDougal.
06/18/04
Top CriticSacrifices credibility not only by the fact that it was co-directed and co-written by the obviously partisan Harry Thomason (along with Nickolas Perry), but also because of its cheesy cinematic style.
06/17/04
This documentary takes us back to a simpler time: the late 1990's, when all Americans had to worry about was their President's sexual indiscretions.
06/17/04
Top CriticFar too obvious, both in its execution and agenda.
06/17/04
Top CriticRiveting and revealing whatever views you have on the partisan issues involved.
