But it's not all plain sailing. People are frightened to talk, Wasilla makes Twin Peaks look like a walk in the park. It's a devout evangelical community - 76 churches with a population of only 6 thousand, and the Crystal meth capitol of Alaska.Who are the flying monkeys, the enemies, the friends, and most importantly - are you with her or against her?

We don't learn anything really new about Palin's politics or her personality, save for a few details that don't shed much light on her thinking (or lack thereof). Full Review

[Makes] her sound simply like an evil Tupperware lady. Full Review

Like his subject, Broomfield prefers flash to facts. Full Review

Palin texted and chewed gum during meetings -- so what? Full Review

Probably the scariest movie you will see all year. Full Review

A.O. Scott, New York Times

It feels warmed over, devoid of urgency and, in spite of Mr. Broomfield's on-camera displays of doggedness, lacking in curiosity. Full Review

Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

The barbs feel stale at best, squandered at worst, and the ominous music that accompanies each sounds as if it has been lifted from the silent movie era. Full Review

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Broomfield is so dogged that he makes 
 a case, in a deeper way than we've seen, that there's a 
 terrifying remorselessness to Palin's feuding nature. Full Review

Christy Lemire, Associated Press

It's juicy stuff but not very informative. Full Review

There may be worse things in life than sitting through a 90-minute movie about Sarah Palin. At the moment, I just can't think of any. Full Review
