Riveting and revealing whatever views you have on the partisan issues involved.

New York Daily News
I'm not sure the filmmakers - one, Harry Thomason, is a long-time Friend of Bill - have connected enough dots to prove a "vast" conspiracy. But that many people devoted much of their lives and resources to destroying Clinton is indisputable.

Film Threat
The message is clear, and powerfully told.

TV Guide Magazine
This gripping documentary contends that some shockingly sleazy efforts to undermine Clinton's character and authority were very real.

Washington Post
Make no mistake. This is partisan filmmaking at its most gleefully unapologetic. Unless they're also masochists, Bill Clinton haters and Ken Starr fans will know better than to buy a ticket.

Variety
Content is engrossing (if so fast-paced that uninformed viewers might easily get lost), but packaging is sometimes questionable.

New York Post
A superficial documentary based on a best-selling book by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons -- which is being released just before the ex-president's memoir hits the bookstores.

The New York Times
In a misguided attempt to break up the monotonous flow of talking heads, the filmmakers have inserted oddly chosen clips from newsreels and public-domain features, meant to illustrate abstract concepts (like eavesdropping or government) while generating some low-level laughs.
