[A] fawning, oddly bloodless portrait.

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post
The movie may tempt even the most ardent conservatives to emulate their idol's tenure as governor and walk out halfway through.

Richard Corliss
TIME Magazine
It's a straight hagiography, without nuance or ambiguity or the admission of opposing viewpoints, even those meant to be dismantled.

David Edelstein
New York Magazine/Vulture
This Sarah Palin hosanna is done in by the simple fact that its director needs to go back to film school.

Robert Levin
The Atlantic
A troop-rallying campaign infomercial as imagined by Michael Bay: hero-worshipping, crescendo-edited at a dizzying pace, thunderously repetitive and its own worst enemy as a two-hour, talking-points briefing.

Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times
It's difficult, if not impossible, to imagine anyone who isn't already a devoted Palinite seeking out or sitting through The Undefeated, which makes its distance from its subject all the more befuddling.

AV Club
"Undefeated" Palin did a fine job of making her fans feel like losers with this abortive trial balloon/infomercial. Losers and suckers.

After proclaiming that Palin is a woman of substance, in the end Bannon's movie is all about her style

The Undefeated says less about Sarah Palin than about the political and cultural environment that made her big screen beatification possible.

Mark Keizer
Boxoffice Magazine
Make up your mind, people: Is she a tough-as-nails "Mama Grizzly" or is she a fragile female who needs men to stick up for her?
