Both book and documentary are balanced. The only incentive of both Jimmy Carter and Jonathan Demme is to get an honest and balanced picture out... e, concerning Palestine! It is about time! Only people who fear the truth will disparage their efforts.KFB Full Review

This album is the finest work I have ever heard from an instrumentalist of John's caliber. After having met him and some of his musician's it is... ar that his gift of music is God given and the deepest part of his soul. Truly a blessing mixing the different parts of the world and bringing them all together. Truly enchanting. Full Review

An intriguing document, and the first significant film ever made about a former U.S. president.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

It's galvanizing to see it played out through the furious contradiction of Carter's personality. He is pious, stubborn, compassionate, testy, moral, unreasonable, and wise.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

A documentary that falls somewhere between overlong and compelling as it follows the 39th president on his controversial book tour.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Shows a man whose beliefs, both political and religious, seem to reinvigorate him; he even carries his own luggage in airports and hotels.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Though not exactly a valentine to the octogenarian Nobel Peace Prize winner, the film is a lovingly rendered, candid and intimate portrait.Full Review
