Hillary (2020)
7/10
Don't listen to reviews where the reviewers likely didn't even watch the doc
6 March 2020
I don't like Hillary Clinton. I don't like how she felt entitled for some reason to break a long held unwritten-rule of not criticizing your opponent(s) of the same party while they are in office (President Obama in 2008) or in future primary contests in which you are not even running (Sen. Sanders in 2019); I think it's opportunistic and selfish, and she's done it twice, once criticizing her way right into a cabinet position, so bad behaviour rewarded as well.

There are many other things not to like about Sec. Clinton, including an abrasive seeming personality, and a seemingly extreme self-centeredness, but that doesn't mean this isn't a fascinating (if at times fawning) character study. It even gives her an opportunity to display some of her worst instincts that only hurt the Democratic Party generally (again, saying without references or sources that people "don't like" Sen. Sanders; I'm no socialist but this is an example of being very counterproductive to her party's main goal of defeating President Trump in 2020).

But these 1/10 reviews based on how the reviewer feels about the subject are downright bizarre. Maybe it's an American thing, I'm not sure, but reviewing a film is about the merits on the film, not a popularity contest on the subject matter. This isn't rocket surgery people.
