Mayor Pete

Mayor Pete shows us the trial by fire of it all, and also the jubilant grind.

It provides unvarnished behind-the-scenes access to a presidential campaign, showing aspects of the process that we would never see otherwise.

Mostly, the documentary premiering on Amazon serves as a social-studies lesson in how campaigns operate, with the most candid moments coming from those other than the candidate.

Mayor Pete has a compelling subject, but it's most gripping when it’s trying to secure your curiosity, not just your future vote.

Involving as the film is, it is decidedly short on propulsion and significant conflict.

Moss’ spry but often superficial film purports to explore what it’s like for an actual human being to run for the highest office in the land, and yet the competency and boy-scout-in-search-of-a-merit-badge resolve that (briefly) turned Buttigieg into an unexpectedly popular alternative to Donald Trump is also what renders him such an impenetrable subject for a documentary.

The film’s approach is completely subsumed by the importance of the Mayor Pete persona as the means and ends of the candidacy.

Isn’t it great when politicians can pay to have their own documentaries made and make their image and how they want world to see them. Go to work fruity

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Pete Buttigieg is a CIA asset shill who coordinated with the DNC and Joe Biden to take down Bernie Sanders in the 2020 presidential race. F him.

if you like pete then you'll like this movie and if you don't like pete you won't like this movie... almost as if it's just a fluff movie trying to sell pete for the next election...
