Loved it! Shows you just how much Roseanne really cares about the sorry state of America right now... AND proves that someone needs to make a full documentary all about her life & career! This simply served to whet my appetite for more!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

super entertaining, funny, and at times quite touching. I was rather surprised and captivated at this look at Roseanne's real life and run for office. Great interviews with people like Rosie, Sandra Berhard, Michael Moore and especially Roseanne's own family members

Chicago Reader

The depths of Barr's character are left unplumbed, while other media personalities like Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell gush about her cultural impact.

Moira MacDonald

Seattle Times

There really isn't much of a campaign to document - Barr, who says she doesn't like shaking hands and meeting people, mostly Skypes from her Hawaii home - and it's hard to tell exactly what to make of it all.

Rated: 2/4

Salt Lake Tribune

Weinrib does a solid job following every twist in the campaign trail, but the heart of Roseanne For President! is in the quiet moments with Barr at home.

Rated: 3/4

Movie Mezzanine

Roseanne for President! too often crosses that uneasy line between laughing-with and laughing-at.

Film Journal International

As invigorating, profane and downright honest as the subject herself, this doc follows an iconic performer on her dubious, rather divine, campaign trail.
