	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is not so much revelatory as humanizing (...) The key takeaway from his film (...) may be that that this huge, complicated country deserves more options than the two-party system affords."	POS
United States	Todd Gilchrist The Wrap	"A fascinating portrait of the country’s mood (...) Producer Jeff Deutchman, working with 16 filmmaking teams across the country, takes the temperature of the electorate as the results roll in"	POS
United States	Keith Watson Slant	"Too often, the documentary's highly calibrated curation reduces its subjects to mere demographic representations (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Alan Scherstuhl LA Weekly	"It plays less like a movie to watch today than a message in a bottle, pleading for help, that I hope reaches the set-things-right time travelers of the far future."	POS
United States	Jen Yamato Los Angeles Times	"A cinematic time capsule of a day with a historical impact that won’t fully register for years to come."	POS
United States	Josh Modell AV Club	"[It] offers little beyond shitty memories (...) [It] doesn’t even really attempt to offer an explanation for Trump’s election"	NEG
