HENRY FONDA FOR PRESIDENT @Berlinale: Reviews

Deserved acclaim for a near unique piece of cinema.
Filmuforia
 
I have no hesitation in stating that it is one of the most beautiful biographical (and not only) documentaries seen in recent years. A highly cultured film and actually also light and entertaining.
Close Up
 
An ambitious and rich work that combines film history and political analysis.
Micropsia

Horwath crafts an elaborate cinematic testimonial to both Fonda – a president who never came to be – and the US.
Eye for Film
 
I dare say it's one of the event films of this decade.
Scena 9

A trium­phal work.
Artechock

In three exciting and inspiring hours of film, [Horwath] not only delivers a portrait of the outstanding actor, he also unfolds the complex and ambivalent history of the United States.
Der Tagesspiegel

A fascinating Hollywood success story with a look into social abysses.
Kurier

The monumental film of the edition: the one for which this festival will be remembered because it will leave an immanent record in memory. It is titled Henry Fonda For President.
