Audience Member big city politics come to your small town. In the mayoral race of Bogota, NJ the battle between two blind candidates turns ugly. This documentary does a nice job of showing every side of this race. Unfortunately even in small town USA campaigns turn to mudslinging and desperate lies.

Former NYU film student puts together a very good picture. His real characters are better than our fake ones. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Everyone in this movie was despicable - yes, even Dave Musikant at times - and the overuse of classical pieces from the public domain was grating. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review frederick m Anytown, USA is a documentary about a small town election which is American politics in a microcosm. The candidates are creepy neo-conservative mayor who wants to cut services including the local high school, the boring middle of the road Democrat who doesn't even seem to try and the blind cancer survivor running as a third candidate. There's some dirty tricks including the Republicans publishing a "newspaper" which is pretty much the small town equivalent of FOX News. There's some other dirty tricks on the other side, including rumours about the Democratic candidate's failing health. All in all, it's a pretty good light documentary. Not really a documentary about an issue but more about people and the chaotic, delinquent American political system which continues to fail people.

Solid film but it never quite comes together. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
