Both inspiring and upsetting, Democrats is, finally, a film that deserves to be called “necessary.”

This film leaves you with the thrill of a good fight fought hard. It’s a scrappy, absorbing tribute to the pragmatic value of compromise, carefully proffered in pursuit of a greater good. America’s candidates would do well to take a page out of this doc’s book.

Nielsson’s documentary portrait is a tragic look at the broken political process in Zimbabwe.

What’s lacking from the film is any substantial exploration of the Constitution itself, and the democratic laws that would’ve made it a game-changer in Zimbabwe, had any of them been put into effect.

According to the film, individual misdeeds aren't the final enemy, but the byproduct of an unregulated regime.

Nielsson somewhat frustratingly avoids giving us many cues to the passage of time, but nevertheless the film captures some of the drama generated by the public's impatience and Mugabe's maneuvering during the long drafting process
