3/4
"Jonathan Demme's
Jimmy Carter Man From Plains
, like
Neil Young: Heart of Gold
and
The Agronomist
, is a poignant portrait of a great man."

B
"A sympathetic but rounded portrait...that's both inspiring and revealing about a man praised by some and unconscionably reviled by others."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
4/5

Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
"Carter's life and work deserve a fuller accounting and analysis than Demme is finally able to provide."

Keith Uhlich
2.5/4
"The minutiae of Carter's book tour isn't always enthralling, but his personality drives the film: pious, stubborn, devoted to his wife, curious, professional, warm and yet slightly removed from the fray, conciliatory, meticulous, self-effacing, funny."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3/4
"Few presidents bow out with as much grace and class"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
"Regardless of what you think of the man's tenure in the White House, this portrait of Carter's endless crusade for justice and an end to global conflict is inspiring..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
B
"[Carter] makes a case comparing the current situation in Israel with the white-ruled apartied of South Africa before Nelson Mandela and is more than willing to face his detractors."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
8/10
