If you are looking for a neutral political documentary then this isn't it. This movie is a no-holds-barred attack on the Democrat party and Hillary Clinton through dramatization.
It's titled Hillary's America but that title is a little misleading. The movie focuses more on the Democratic party than it does on Hillary Clinton. It only starts delving specifically into Hillary in the last 35 minutes of the movie.
This movie deals in absolutes. The Democrats are cast as absolute villains and the Republicans are portrayed as absolute angels. The movie tells us the Democratic party started off consisting mostly of slave owners but became con-artists and scammers after slavery ended to enslave people again through other means.
The actor who played Lyndon B. Johnson was spot on. Also, the actress who portrayed young Hillary looked very much like her.
I'm not going to vote for Hillary, the mediocre score i'm giving the movie just reflects how i thought of the movie in general. The reenactments and the dramatics were over the top. I would have been happy if it was just a straight documentary.

Going into this film, I knew it was going to be a one-sided conservative hit piece. Fine. Many of the claims D'Souza makes are ultimately true, though some are exaggerated more than others. However, he of course does not criticize "his side", who are just as corrupt as the Democratic Party. While a lot of it certainly is factual, he omits a lot of facts that pertain to what he is discussing. He paints the picture that Republicans are and have always been noble, do-no-wrong saints in the political world. Someone could make a similar movie about the "Secret History of the Republican Party" as well, put them together, then you have "The History of the Corruption and Corporatization of the American Political System" - a more accurate portrayal. Let's be real folks, the D's and R's have done this together, and only divide the population who ultimately have the same interests using the issues that D'Souza talks about in this film - race, abortion, guns, etc.
The fact that this got such a low meta score is in itself suspect, This is not the highest grade production but it's good enough not to detract from the interesting plot line, agree or disagree with dinesh, he is a very intelligent interesting person who deserves to be heard out at least, certainly doesn't deserve the artificial meta score of 2. I've never written a review before but In this case i felt i had to, to at least give him the credit he is due and stand up to the liberal ideologues running Hollywood, I'm not usually a fan of conspiracy theories but after seeing this movie/documentary I can't understand how else it got a meta score of 2, when it probably deserves something around 40-50. Anyone that's interested in a narrative other than the artificial liberal spin, should watch this movie.
Watching as blank wall is more entertaining than viewing this movie. This basically a movie version of a wiki page, a really bad, poorly made, and deceptive wiki page, maybe Conservative Wiki. Bad history, bad reenactments, terrible wigs and costumes, and direction that is either absent, or incompetent.
Sorry, but the actress who plays Hilary is terrible, really over the top and cackling. I don't blame her as much as I blame the director who told her to play it this way. I', an actor, and I know actors are tools of the directors.
Avoid anything by convicted felon D'Souza, he's just telling his tiny audience what they want to hear.

If Dinesh D'Souze had served a longer prison sentence he wouldn't have had time to put together another disinformation piece. He should find honest work somewhere.
He hates liberals and Democrats, and he writes dishonest books and puts together bad films which he calls documentaries. In reality, they are feature-length lies.
This particular pack of lies purports to reveal the hidden truth about Hillary Clinton and the Democrats - timed for release so that he could have some impact on the election in November. This is exactly the same tactic Dinesh used when he released the Obama film which should have been subtitled: "Reasons I hate Obama and baloney I made up about him to make you vote for the other guy." The Obama film did some box office, unlike his Hillary film. There are a lot of Fox News viewers, Breitbart readers, and right wing haters of the United States, and this film is for them. It is a film for people who do not read, who are looking for someone to blame for their own circumstances and who believe that liberals have ruined their lives.
A number of irresponsible and untrue allegations are leveled at the Clintons. Proof? Proof? He don't need no stinking proof. He never has the goods. He just makes stuff up for the gullible.
I gave this film a 1, because the scale does not allow for negative numbers.
