Prime Minister

I believe most will judge this film based on their own political ideologies. I feel, however, that the film, the person Jacinda, should be judged not on her ideology, but her strength and ability to lead a nation. With that said, she is a force to be reckoned with. She achieved what she intended to achieve. This film showcases these achievements along with stepping into her personal space during the most important times. I appreciate a good film about a great person more so than a great film about a good person. The world is a better place because of this woman. Allow the film to introduce you to a great leader.

I throughly enjoyed this moving film. In it, is an intimate look into the complexties and challenges of leading a country, while also staying true to yourself and valuing connection, family and doing the right thing.

I've long admired Jacinda Ardean's leadership approach, putting people first, consulting with experts and not being afraid to make the tough decisions. Decisions that may not be the most popular, but with all the information at her fingertips, she is equipped with the knowledge to lead. Through it all, she has a thriving family and enviable strong, loving and caring relationship with her husband.

Highly recommend!

I had to write a review though I very rarely do. I'm an American expat and a New Zealand citizen. Experiencing first hand the Jacinda years, especially as a comparison against the Trump years, she was an amazing and inspirational national leader. This film accurately captures what it was like during her tenure and how all of the country felt towards her, good and bad. What happened at the end of her tenure is a national disgrace. We lost a great leader and this film accurately portrays this too. It also happens to be a very well made documentary, fully engaging from beginning to end. Negative reviews are clearly political and from the opposition. Review the film and leave your politics at the door.

I thought this was a wonderful doco on NZ's best woman prime minister and for me one of our best ever prime ministers. It showed her strengths, her disappointments, her empathy, compassion and ability to go out to the people and be at one with them. I was horrified and disgusted at the scenes in front of parliament brought on by conspiracy theorists and loser lowlifes. Made me ashamed to be a kiwi. However I felt the movie and the production was faultless and I came away with a feeling that we lost someone special to NZ. Sadly.

I didn't expect to be so emotional watching this, but it hit me harder than I anticipated. The film captures more than just Jacinda Ardern's time in office - it's a reminder of a leadership style rooted in empathy, clarity, and courage. Watching it made me nostalgic for a country that, in many ways, doesn't feel the same anymore.

It's rare to see a political figure portrayed with such honesty and vulnerability, and it only reinforced what I already felt: the world needs more Jacindas. If more leaders approached their role with the compassion and moral backbone that she did, the world would be a profoundly different place.

I'm not surprised to see a few low-star ratings from people who likely didn't watch it, or who disagree with her politics but can't articulate why - and tellingly, many of those reviews don't contain a single word of critique. That says it all.

This documentary is a moving, thoughtful portrait of a once-in-a-generation leader. I loved it.
