What people are saying
‘Prime Minister’s portrait of Ardern is so persuasive it might make you wish you could vote for her.‘
Caryn James
‘The documentary acts as an intimate study of what it means to serve others when it seems like the world is falling apart and to be a partner and mother at the same time.‘
Harrison Richlin
‘The qualities that endeared Ardern to the world and — for her first term, at least — to her country were a directness, intelligence, drive and unglamorous charm that “Prime Minister” convincingly presents as entirely unmanufactured.‘
Ty Burr
