Justin R History isn't kind to presidential losers, but this a surprisingly warm and human portrait. The documentary focuses less on the political machinations of the campaign and more on the man and his relationship with his family. Romney certainly comes across as a good man with a loving and caring family. One wonders how many outcomes might be different if we could see all major candidates in such a way before an election. It's a good political documentary - not the best but definitely an interesting watch for political anoraks although lacking in broader appeal given that it was an unsuccessful campaign.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is going to be a hard review to conduct because I do not have quite a lot of experience reviewing documentaries, so bear with me. With the current presidential election going on between Clinton and Trump, I decided to give "Mitt" a shot. Now I haven't been active in politics for very long. Only since the most recent Canadian election did I start to take an interest in politics. So I did not watch any of the race for president in 2012. What I can say is that Mitt Romney, just based on this film alone, might have received my vote if I were an American voting in that election. I know I haven't carefully looked at both parties but what this film shows is a man who is determined and has a great love for the United States. I like seeing a president act around his family and friends without any of the major cameras on him. He complains about John McCain and the debate structure, he complains how the media takes what he says and reports it out of context. He seems like a human being. Not some perfectly groomed television prop. Overall, if you are interested in American politics and don't mind a documentary style story, then give this one a shot. You may see the side to a presidential candidate you've never seen before. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A well put together documentary that humanizes candidates beyond their image and shows the stress a presidential campaign puts on a family. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 9/5/16 Netflix A documentary that shows the man more than the candidate. It stays away from the wonky, inside politics story line that shows handlers, pollsters, strategist and others and just focuses on the Romney family and the pressure a campaign brings. It also shows ho w the media can portay a person in a much different light than they really are. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member More about the wear and tear of a candidate running for President and their family, than politics itself. This did a fair job of doing that and shined a fairly honest was a balanced view of both Mitt the man as well as candidate. It neither endorses any qualities he may have had for Presidency, nor does it villainize him in any way. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
