Directors Michelle Walshe & Lindsay Utz’s film “Prime Minister” takes a fairly straightforward approach with a gentle touch.

The Hollywood Reporter

Even with its omissions and glossiness -- a typical side effect of insider access -- Prime Minister’s portrait of Ardern is so persuasive it might make you wish you could vote for her.

Film Festival Today

The movie does a good job both holding our interest and crafting a three-dimensional profile of its subject. Ardern is here presented without vanity, able to look back and ponder her own timeline and draw lessons from it.

Film Inquiry

Whereas many films might falter from such a status quo approach, Prime Minister plays so well within its own comfort zone, resulting in a compelling documentary for the masses.
