Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times "Kid Candidate" isn't about winning as much as a reinforcement of the notion that apathy is the death of democracy, a lesson best learned, as Pedigo comes to understand, when you're young. Jul 1, 2021 Full Review Wes Greene Slant Magazine The film doesn't leave us with a complex sense of Hayden Pedigo as a person and political candidate trying to take on an unjust system. Rated: 2/4 Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Abby Olcese RogerEbert.com Both an endearing character study of Pedigo and a well-informed examination of municipal politics. Mar 20, 2021 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix [This documentary] takes a fascinating look at how a musician in his mid-20s launched an unorthodox political campaign to become a city council member in Amarillo, Texas. What started as a joke turned into an experience that changed people's lives. Jul 15, 2021 Full Review Diane Pershing Malibu Times I can't say this is more than an excellent example of potentially professional filmmakers who haven't gotten there yet. Kind of like Hayden himself, a David facing a whole bunch of Goliaths. Jul 6, 2021 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... smartly avoids self-promotion in favor of a modest call-to-action.
