Ratings and reviews

I was a little sceptical about this one. Hollywood tends to be unfair to anyone who's not left of center politically. Add a cast that includes Woody Harrelson, Ed Harris and Julianne Moore and there's a recipe for rewriting history to fit a liberal leaning agenda. Surprisingly enough the movie is fair for the most part and the acting was superb.

I've watch this movie multiple times with various friends and family members. Enlightening every time. Great performances, especially from Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson, and Ed Harris. One can never get too much of a behind-the-scenes look at the campaign that changed politics. Couldn't be more fascinating if it were fiction.

This movie is accurate in many respects. It has nothing to do with left or right. Many on the Republican team that were actually there and had first hand knowledge of Sarah's embarrassing, and uneducated behavior, say it is a fair and accurate portrait of the fool herself.
