Trumped plays way too much like a highlight reel from the last year, offering not nearly enough insight into the questions surrounding Trump's campaign and now-presidency. Go to Full Review

The rushed nature of the film basically predetermined its mediocre quality. Go to Full Review
Christopher Campbell Thrillist 02/09/2018
A phenomenal and often funny triumph of election coverage repurposed as history lesson. Go to Full Review
Travis Johnson FILMINK (Australia) 02/05/2017
...there is a kind of car-crash fascination in watching the events unfold... Go to Full Review
Luke Buckmaster The Daily Review/Crikey 01/30/2017
Trumped adds a reasonable amount of meat to the bone, particularly in how the election played out in the eyes of local pundits. This is not something overseas audiences have necessarily had much exposure to. Go to Full Review

America F 07/20/2023 Amazing story of an amazing president's rise See more 07/02/2020 Great footage and interviews. See more 04/13/2019 An enjoyable look back for Trump voters, and a painful redux for Clinton voters. Either way a worthwhile viewing for political junkies. There are many behind the scenes shots that give it value, however this is frankly a biased account filled with lots of onscreen opinions and handwringing by Halperin and Heilemann, and Bush advisors. The first minutes of the film, which introduces the makers and participants through their self-congratulatory Curriculum Vitae is almost a perfect illustration of the reason every bit of the establishment are incapable of understanding the 2016 election, then, now or perhaps ever. They have been the establishment for so long, intimately woven in with other players in the industry and a product of decades of smoothing out and creation through consensus, like a Cast Iron pan you've well seasoned and reliably cooked with your entire life...that anyone outside of that is completely unrecognizable and unacceptable. There was a humorous brief moment when they realized, there are no real handlers or writers on the Trump campaign, there's just him, out there, a guy with a hat and a microphone, telling it as he sees it. And because it's organic, and not scripted and digital, the standard counter-measures largely failed. Interesting show to watch and I do recommend it.
