MRS. ROBINSON tells Mary's story, in her own words, for the very first time -- illuminating battles for justice and equality over half a century; on the streets, in the courts, at the ballot box, and in backroom corridors of power. A reforming constitutional lawyer and senator in her early career, Mary Robinson detonated an electoral earthquake by winning the Irish Presidential vote in 1990. Later, as a crusading UN High Commissioner, she built a lasting legacy; fearlessly challenging perpetrators of human rights abuses all over the world. To this day, she exerts power and leadership as the Chair of The Elders; the independent group of global leaders (founded by Nelson Mandela) who work for peace, justice and human rights.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

There is nothing so wrong about a good-news documentary. The nation had more than enough bad news in its first century of independence.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

Mrs Robinson’s main problem is that it isn’t as sharp as Mary Robinson herself.

Chris Wasser

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

It will hardly come as a surprise to hear Kelleher’s documentary is at its best when providing a snappy, vibrant collage of Robinson’s electrifying presidential campaign.

Rated: 4/5
