Everyone likes an underdog story, and when the underdog is as eloquent, passionate and righteous as these four women are, the final reels of this film feel like a Rocky movie. Dec 10, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Even though we know the outcome...the campaign progress remains enthralling. Mostly because it's a fascinating snapshot of modern politics in flux...and a hopeful, ultimately moving account of idealism in action. May 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Lears makes efficient use of time, diving just enough into the lives of the candidates to understand where they're coming from, but not making them come across so weepy as to be ineffectual. Dec 17, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It's impossible not to find yourself cheering and feeling a lump in your throat at this David versus Goliath story. But also find your heart breaking with the tears of loss of those other candidates who were less fortunate. Dec 10, 2019 | Full Review…

It's incredible how [Rachel] Lears captured AOC's improbable ascent, and for that reason alone people will get a kick out of this film. Dec 10, 2019 | Full Review…

[Rachel] Lears mixes [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez's rise with the campaigns of three other Brand New Congress candidates around the country. And they're sometimes more compelling than the future congresswoman. Dec 10, 2019 | Rating: 85/100 | Full Review…
