An old friend pointed me to a review in the New Republic of the documentary, Mitt, which airs on Netflix beginning next week (“The Best Thing to Come Out of the Romney Campaign: This Documentary Movie“).

Here’s a taste of the review:

Mitt does not exactly save Romney from his reputation as a robot. But his formality begins to look less like an artifice and more like a kind of dorky tic that binds the Romneys, like a well-intentioned, alien tribe, against the larger world. In one scene from his 2008 campaign, Matt Lauer interviews Romney on NBC. Lauer had been scheduled to travel to Dearborn, Michigan, to do the interview in person, but a storm grounded his plane in New York. So while the split-screen on NBC is a close-up of Romney’s face, Whiteley’s camera finds him standing in a huge, deserted auditorium, looking as stiff as ever, his hands clenched at his sides. And yet there is something newly sympathetic about the sight of him alone in that empty hall. “My rule was that I was going to keep filming until Mitt told me no,” Whiteley said. “Everybody who was not a Romney told me no. Everyone else told me, ‘you’re not welcome here.’” But Romney, he said, “is polite to a fault.”

Here’s another view from the Washington Post.
