Concepción de León New York Times Though Booker’s story and success are inspiring, the documentary falls flat, feeling more like a political tool than a commentary on the state of politics in Kentucky. Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Katie Walsh TheWrap A surprisingly emotional film; this is not just a shiny piece of campaign propaganda. Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Biographical documentaries about politicians during a political campaign often look like campaign promotional videos, but From the Hood to the Holler avoids that trap by presenting a fairly well-well-rounded portrait of Kentucky politician Charles Booker. Oct 30, 2022 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese The politics may be portrayed far more dramatically than anywhere else in the world, but the impact feels just as important. Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex If things break right for Booker, this could be an early chapter in a storied political career. From the Hood to the Holler is an entertaining and emotional work, even if it stumbles on occasion. Rated: 7/10 Sep 17, 2022 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Equally provocative and captivating.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/22 Full Review greg p A unique inside-look into a grass roots political campaign, the film highlights Booker's passion for wanting to help all of the people in his state. It's inspiring to witness the hard work Booker puts into his campaign day-in and day-out. The film offers an uplifting message that there still are politicians out there who genuinely want to make the world a better place. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Cara S A triggering film, in the most powerful and poignant way possible.
