Critic Reviews for Political Animals

All Critics (6) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)

  • Political Animals is at the very least effective and informative about the women it presents as the forerunners of political equality for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.

    Leigh Monson

    Substream Magazine

  • The documentary doesn't feel much more than a flat retelling of the history of same-sex marriage and would dry up without its four central personalities.

    One Room With A View

  • We champion the recent marriage equality act, but it's right to focus on the long, painstaking road that got us to this point in time.

    Christopher James

    AwardsCircuit.com

  • This is important, essential viewing- and as positive as the outcomes here are, it is still a vital reminder of the important LGBT rights issues that need to be addressed in the regressive Trump era. This film is needed now more than ever.

    Alistair Ryder

    Gay Essential

  • The back-and-forth takes on an almost debate-like quality that only heightens the absurdity of the hate speak featured within. A modern day reunion is perhaps under-utilised, but the footage that is featured is powerful stuff.

  • I was enlightened; I was better for seeing it.
