Norah Shapiro captures a slice of life that's as commanding as it is heartening. Time for Ilhan will restore your faith in the political system, small as it may be, and show you the revolution that's being started and continues today!

Kristen Lopez
Citizen Dame
Despite all these thematic overtures, and a late-act scandal that could've been pulled directly from, well, Scandal, Time for Ilhan is peculiar in that it's underwhelming.

Malik Adán
Shadow and Act
The type of feel-good story we desperately need right now.

Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter
In revealing an act of distancing, the film gains our trust.

CJ Sheu
Critics at Large
Dips into Omar's congressional campaign, bears witness to the passion of the hopeful attached to her cause, and challenges the divide that splinters even the like-minded.

Brad Gullickson

A feel-good hagiography to be sure, but it also offers a more personal look at who Omar really is, free of the noise of cable news punditry and partisan fear-mongering.

Docu follows Somali American's first political campaign.

Renee Schonfeld
Common Sense Media
As her political star rises or falls, Shapiro's documentary does serve as a time capsule of sorts, providing an illuminating look at a dynamic, unorthodox politician at the start of her political career.

Joshua Speiser
Film Threat
Omar is the future of politics, so while this likely will not be the last documentary made about her, it's a great first glimpse into a fierce political force in the making.

Lea Palmieri
Decider
[The] earliest scenes highlight how Omar, who started out as a community activist, was able to connect with young people and minorities-two demographics that were key to enlarging the voter base and her winning.

Phil Guie
Film-Forward.com
...a straightforward political documentary brought alive by the vibrancy of its central figure and the director's access to the behind-the-scenes action of her campaign.

Sarah Boslaugh

While not exactly a hard and penetrating look at Ilhan, ''Time for Ilhan'' is still more than an extended bit of hagiography.
