s r Informative, yet biased. I did enjoy mcgoverns perspectives, he was knowledgable and wise. However, Many of those involved were unqualified to voice their opinion, but were included because of their extremes. It is easy to criticize the election of Nixon. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Every American should watch this movie about a true American Hero: George McGovern. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Very strong docu-film Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh, how badly I wanted to enjoy this. But I can't shake the feeling that George McGovern deserved better than bitter polemics and tired hippie reminiscences. It's a tragedy that the bums lost, but maybe the bums aren't the ones to dissect the reasons for their loss. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Like any Liberal documentary you get a lot of the good vs. evil stuff and McGovern is painted in totally rosy colors, but I think the film had a point about the brilliance and failure of his 1972 bid for the presidency. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member as usual, its not a great formal documentary. and theres not nearly enough time spent with mcgovern face to face. but jesus christ what a history lesson and a sense of patriotism. mcgovern should be the fulcrum of contemporrry american political hisotory. i'm also pretty drunk.
