      Audience Member Fascinating to see the inner workings of an old school campaign for Congress. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Just like its subject, not everything goes right all the time for Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore, but the film is ultimately a fascinating, eye-opening portrait of an everyman's grab for a US Congressional seat. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member funny to learn this prodigy do-gooder went to prison. kudos to him for working tirelessly even if a little shady, his phone call work alone would exhaust most into quitting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this documentary a lot. It solidified what I arleady felt about politics in general, but I did learn a few things as well. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Shot in St. Louis, I just randomly started watching this and then recognized my streets! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary is very well done. It delves (not to deeply though) into the idea that perhaps The Big Names in Politics can outweigh the little man no matter the issues. Why? Because it seems that the voters simply don't care anymore and will vote with the name of the person "who is sure to win". It is very interesting and engaging and has you rooting until the very end wondering if Mr. Smith can get to Washington. 84/100 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture I won't spoil the suspense for those of you who weren't paying attention at the time. Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times Mr. Smith captures ground-level political machinations in an utterly fascinating way. The question raised by the title makes for an interesting, if possibly disheartening, debate. Rated: 4/5 Feb 1, 2007 Full Review Tim Grierson L.A. Weekly For all its rah-rah David-vs.-Goliath populism, Can Mr. Smith understands that even an uncorrupted outsider like Smith must master the art of campaign gamesmanship to be successful. Feb 1, 2007 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Como documentarista, Popper curiosamente reflete as virtudes e fragilidades de seu protagonista: tem o coração no lugar certo, mas demonstra inexperiência ao criar uma narrativa com certo carisma, mas claramente amadora. Rated: 2/5 Jan 6, 2008 Full Review Andy Klein Los Angeles CityBeat ... by-the-numbers and effective, if a bit overlong ... Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Robert W. Butler Kansas City Star Warm, funny, informative, breathlessly paced and inspiring. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 27, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
