Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Jun 11
It’s missing some key interview subjects and dodges or entirely misses some key topics, but when you have talent as clever and enthusiastic as [these interviewees], you’re bound to find some insights and ample entertainment. Go to Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail Jun 19
Reliving the highlights of everyone’s impressions of politicians past and present is a delight. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Jun 8
This well-edited documentary gives a breezy and often-hilarious overview of famous comedic impersonations of U.S. presidents and former U.S. presidential candidates, from the 1960s to the 2020s. It's a good mix of archival clips and exclusive interviews. Go to Full Review Warren Cantrell The Playlist Jun 8
