A journey across the icy snows of Alaska in mid winter, to meet the school friends, family, and Republican colleagues that in previous days gave their heart, and souls to the charismatic, charming, intoxicating ex hockey mum.

Never one to take a back seat in his movies, Broomfield projects a shambling, Columbo-style bonhomie that gains him access to people who should be very afraid of letting him cross their threshold.

Entertainment Weekly

Sep 28, 2011

Though a great deal of this material (e.g., Troopergate) seems like old news, Broomfield is so dogged that he makes   a case, in a deeper way than we've seen, that there's a   terrifying remorselessness to Palin's feuding nature.

In case you think Sarah Palin-You Betcha! is a hit job on an easy subject, see the movie and learn something. It's terrifying, but in all fairness, no disgrace, no rumor of extramarital affairs in office, no broadside is explored unless it can be substantiated.

The New York Times

It feels warmed over, devoid of urgency and, in spite of Mr. Broomfield's on-camera displays of doggedness, lacking in curiosity.

Variety

Sep 25, 2011

Shovels enough dirt on the Tea Party guru and self-described hockey mom to satisfy her haters, but lacks sufficient humor and insight to make it a must-see for anyone outside the Brit muckraker's fan base.

Village Voice

Sep 27, 2011

For all the legitimate reasons to jeer Palin, should her rightful wariness of Broomfield's camera be one of them?

New York Daily News

Broomfield's point that Palin followers threaten her enemies, though, is worthy of a different documentary - perhaps one about American fanaticism.
