"...Now imagine that photograph—dubiously sourced, factually questionable and suffused with nasty personal cracks instead of any legitimate insight or criticism—and you have D'Souza's latest film, "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party," a work that almost makes his previous cinematic efforts, "2016: Obama's America" and "America" seem lucid and well-reasoned by comparison.

Little more than an extended version of the kind of political screeds that can be found online with only a minimum of effort, this is just a terrible movie, and, depending on the conditions that were set forth, there is a chance it could be considered a parole violation as well."

You always seek out the worst review possible to refute whatever I have to say without ever seeing the film first yourself.

I presume this is not for you but it is not the "dumbest documentary" this guy ever saw. Try not to let politics poison the punch. Go see it then vote your conscience.

  ...that wasn't the worst review I saw, more in the middle.
  If the film fits your preconceived notions, regardless of the facts, then I'm sure you enjoyed it.
  There are entire cable news departments designed to make you feel good that way.
  Calling it a "documentary" of anything is a big stretch.

    But the critics are mostly Hillary supporters like 99% of the industry.If the film walked on water,I don't think it would matter.Also,some of the worst critiqued films by reviewers were the most successful.

    Nothing like the truth. I didn't know he was outta prison. The guy is a pathological liar. No idea why anybody would watch the shit he puts out let alone enjoy it.

      who checked in every night by 8:00 pm. There are plenty of pathological liars in the world of politics by D'Souza is not one of them.

      *** I didn't know he was outta prison. The guy is a pathological liar. ***
      Well, sorry, but if you did not EVEN know he was in prison, how could you possibly know if he is a liar or a truth teller?
      One is not possible without the other. Clearly, you never heard him speak, and never heard any serious discussion of his views, politics, films, etc.
      But you know he is a liar... LOL! That is funny! :)

        You'd be wrong Vic. I'm familiar enough with his work, and deeds, to know one when I see one. We clearly have very different views of him.

        I have not seen any of his films, but I find it impossible not to know the fact that he went to jail (OK, OK, a "confinement center") :). It was all over the wire.
        I don't hold any particular view of him, since I simply don't know enough, but the fact he spent 8 months in jail is a common knowledge to anyone interested in politics.

        Victor, maybe you didn't read my op correctly, or maybe I could've said it more plainly, but was/am absolutely aware that he'd been convicted and sentenced. Or maybe I've missed your point. Either way, I've already typed way,way more about this man than I ever imagined I would.

...to note that in last night's speech Bill Clinton went through all Hillary's "accomplishments" from her young age, including the greatest one - marrying him... but for some strange reason he "forgot" to say ANYTHING about her most recent contribution to humanity: the Clinton Foundation.

It was clear that he wanted to avoid at all cost reminding people of all the behind the scene stuff happening there.
