Pelosi in the House

Nancy's daughter may love her, may admire her and may have more access and insight to who she truly is, but that does not qualify her to be a documentary film maker. Not only does her lack of film making show, it comes off as a family centric historical passion piece and Nancy's legacy is deserving of more. There is so much drama and struggle that was not captured or shown.

If you are wondering why ratings for this piece is low, that is why, in the hands of a capable or qualified film maker this could have been a defining piece for female leadership.

This is the same mistake Nolan Ryan's son made in his doc last year, but at least there, you could tell he worked with an experienced crew and the gratuitous parts of that doc where clearly at the insistence of the children.

You only get one bite at the apply and unfortunately this was not a good one. This was too long, too boring and too bland. I'd say Nancy's life is in the 10 range and this movie does not reflect that. Some times family needs to get out of their own way.

Book x-mas -Gift, why not make a documentary and put together her life from our standpoint of view, her offspring ,the lovely daughters,in laws, and grand and great(?)grand children of the speaker of the big house on the top of the hill, sitting there cause the rest of the land of district of colombia was just a rotten quagmire back then when it was constructed, NANCY PELOSI, that i as a norwegian, consider some of the best that has happened to american politics over the latter years... just a pitty shes taking the leave now after the autrocious attacks on her husband back in the sushine state of california.

Yes its a verbal race in telephones running from rooms and corridors at capitol hill, with some stiff needled indian sundance trying to reach out to her grands at home, its shows some immortal moments of her political life and sense, but also the times of headbanging when in minority in the house of representatives.

So beaware this is not a heavy biographical story, its more or less the true nancy that the daughter where able to catch on tape. I give it a five star, its allright thinks the grumpy old man.

This is excellent! Not as good as, say, An Inconvenient Truth or Fahrenheit 9/11, but excellent.

I find it interesting that half of the ratings are exactly zero. (At this writing, there are 566 "0" ratings, out of 1.2k reviews.) More zeros than any other rating. Makes you think these reviews were purely partisan. They don't like Pelosi, so they don't like the documentary.

Since her daughter obviously had exclusive access to Pelosi, there are a lot of scenes that would never be recorded in the life of most politicians.

Nancy Pelosi was definitely a pioneer in her career! Kudos to her and kudos to her daughter for making this documentary!

I was not opposed to sitting through another one, regardless of subject. If you're sick of political films always pushing a viewpoint, and usually a rancid one, try one or two of A. Pelosi's documentaries. Don't get me wrong. It's fine to have an agenda (and she likely as not does have one), but don't cram it down the viewer's throat (she hasn't). Few get the access AP has had, and none as much she has had with this particular subject! Her hands off approach and humor go far in a way that makes me happy a film about Nancy P was made by a woman, and doubly so that it was Alexandra. Being not well-verses on Nancy Pelosi's life prior to Obama, it was great to realize I am inspired by her as much as I am by Hillary, and Ruth Bader. Her resume is as impressive as any, and AP captured her humanity and imperfections. When you watch the adversity she's dealt with, you can really begin wonder how she didn't give up. Uncanny she made it this far AND managed to actually get a lot accomplished. So few Republican politicians ever do any real work once elected, but Pelosi has never stopped.

The documentary of Nancy Pelosi by her daughter Alexandra gives a fascinating insight of how a powerful woman can influence politics and how reasonable decision making can be possible in the world's most powerful democracy. As European I despised president Trump, who did betray the office of president. I was impressed how ms. Pelosi did not lose her calm in dealing with this disaster called Trump, the most horrible and extreme narcissistic president the USA had. It's impressing. If you wanna know how politics in the Capitol are made look at this doc. The portrait gives an impressive image of a woman who was a positive and progressive powerhouse. She did almost never give up fighting for the good cause, inspiring for women and .... men (who want to serve democracy).

When I read the negative comments in this section I do think most commenters don't like her (do the hate (this) women?) and don't want to see the special images we can see, because her daughter can film her 'object' so closely.

The work of Pelosi consists of almost every day talking to people (much of the time by phoning them). She persuade and convince all the time politicians of both sides of the congress. She has a formidable memory and acted to everyone with respect and dignity.
