From Salem, Oregon's Statesman Journal newspaper: Labels: Reviews
"It's a vivid, well-told film that builds tension even as we guess the likely outcome. "Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore?" makes us care about an outsider and want to tap into the kind of political passion and idealism that most people don't think exists anymore..."
"...In one of many tense episodes, Smith battles to salvage the endorsement of an African-American newspaper [The St. Louis American] that realizes that its advantage is to go with the likely winner, not the best candidate."
"Popper's documentary does its work with style and dedication, following Smith and his supporters on the campaign trail, contrasting the views of pundits and journalists with the inside working of the campaign."
