Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/17/2011
2/5
Broomfield goes at the subject with his customary dogged stoicism, which is never less than good fun, but this is one Columbo episode where the culprit barely needed help being brought to task. Go to Full Review

We don't learn anything really new about Palin's politics or her personality, save for a few details that don't shed much light on her thinking (or lack thereof). Go to Full Review

Sometimes amusing but too familiar - from yesterday's facts to a Michael Moore-ish structure - the doc does create a convincing portrait of Palin as the ultimate Mean Girl. Go to Full Review

2/5
It's severely hampered by a Palin-ordained lack of interview access and ultimately fails to get to grips with its subject. Go to Full Review
Prairie Miller NewsBlaze 10/13/2011
UK filmmaker Nick Broomfield penetrates Palin's in absentia bubbly facade to uncover the right wing evangelical politician's connections to the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch, the Tea Party and intimations of the Antichrist. Go to Full Review

A hatchet job or an accurate portrait of a Machiavellian manipulator? That's apt to depend on whether you lean to the left or to the right. Go to Full Review

01/30/2015 Scary as hell. Full review later. See more 12/13/2013 No comments given here as I don't want to start a silly political battle. See more 10/01/2013 I can not stand her.....but no matter...I did like the show....however, since she manages to miss being interviewed for the documentary.....you still do not get a sence of what type of person she really is. Just a bunch of opinions from family and friends. After watching the documentary....I think you will still be on the fence....."Lets see...do I like her? or Do I dislike her?" Who knows....this is not the documentary that can confirm anything for you.....unless you get easily swayed by rumors :) See more 07/01/2013 Sociopath... You betcha! See more 08/21/2012 Sarah Palin what a stupid bitch! See more 07/31/2012 watch this and "the undefeated" back to back. uproarious. See more Read all reviews
