Even for those who were following the events very closely on a day to day basis, the film is a bracing refresh.

The power lies in the material itself; the filmmakers just pick up, edit and arrange the most compelling bits into a thrilling whole.

An Insignificant Man is journalistically fuzzy and unashamedly partial. But it also has the appealing zeal of an idealistic passion project, and has generated an impressive amount of newsworthy buzz for a first-time feature.

The presentation is quite detailed, as it describes the forming of the party, starting with the basics and ending with the 2013 elections, although at the end of the film, its current situation is also revealed

Far from a wide-eyed tale about the triumph of populist democracy, An Insignificant Man showcases that even in the muck of politics, incremental changes can truly be momentous.

One of the Must-See Documentaries About Current World Politics. The film sees a good theatrical run and has been loved by audiences like me. The way they have maintained a coherent narrative makes you feel as if you're watching a taut thriller; they keep you glued till the very last moment

Whatever their political views, 'An Insignificant Man' would strike most people as a masterfully assembled feature-length documentary about the Delhi Legislative Assembly elections of 2013, and a powerful advertisement for democracy in India. I say "masterfully assembled" because it was created post-fact, by combining video clips documented by almost 500 individual contributors, who had proximate access to political debutant Arvind Kejriwal, and his new party's inner workings, in the lead-up to the elections. Also, a surprising window into Kejriwal's thinking, in which an autocratic mindset that is typical of founders/visionaries/entrepreneurs is plainly visible in flashes. Don't miss this one!
