Mitt

A Netflix original documentary, Mitt is a rare and intimate account of one man's quest for the presidency. Given unprecedented access by Mitt Romney and his family for six years, Mitt follows the former governor's presidential aspirations, from Christmas 2006 to his initial run to become the Republican nominee in 2008 and through his Presidential concession speech in 2012.

Filmology Rating: 2.5 out of 4

As a rather strong independent I have to ask myself where was this Romney during the election and why did I never see him? Why is it only after the election behind closed doors do I see him as a family man. It might be because this film focuses more on the family aspect rather than just the man himself. I enjoyed taking a look at that side of politics, the side that the papers will never cover and you will normally never see. I only wish that I could have seen more of it. The film is incredibly short for what was a very big election and I wish we could have spent more time with the Romney camp. Now was it the film makers who decided to not show more or was it the Romney family? I don't think we will ever get the answer to that but if you have an interest in politics or just what goes on behind the scenes with family dynamics this is a film for you.
