Lidija Haas of "The New Republic" wrote that the film "serves as a sort of Rorschach blot, in which you’ll probably see confirmation of whatever theory about her and the 2016 election you espouse", and added: "Often, the film shares Clinton’s own trouble distinguishing between baseless prejudice and substantive critique." She concluded: "What you’re seeing isn’t Clinton’s personal legacy. It’s the end of the choke hold that her worldview, so expertly presented here, once had over the Democratic Party." Judy Berman of "Time" magazine wrote: "The problem isn’t that she comes off as disingenuous so much as that people who follow politics ... have heard almost all of this before: Wellesley, Arkansas, Whitewater, Hillarycare, “women’s rights are human rights,” Monica, Senate, Obama, Benghazi, Trump", and concluded: "As it happens, I don’t need Hillary Clinton to go away. I just wish she’d tell us something we don’t already know."
