Pelosi in the House

source: Pelosi in the House

The documentary of Nancy Pelosi by her daughter Alexandra gives a fascination insight of how a powerful woman can influence politics and how reasonable decision making can be possible in the world's most powerful democracy. As European I despised president Trump, who did betray the office of president. I was impressed how ms. Pelosi did not lose her calm in dealing with this disaster called Trump, the most horrible and extreme narcissistic president the USA had. It's impressing. If you wanna know how politics in the Capitol are made look at this doc. The portrait gives an impressive image of a woman who was a positive and progressive powerhouse. She did almost never give up fighting for the good cause, inspiring for women and .... men (who want to serve democracy). When I read the negative comments in this section I do think most commenters don't like her (do the hate (this) women?) and don't want to see the special images we can see, because her daughter can film her 'object' so closely. The work of Pelosi consists of almost every day talking to people (much of the time by phoning them). She persuade and convince all the time politicians of both sides of the congress. She has a formidable memory and acted to everyone with respect and dignity.

Pathetic that no one asked for this, just trying to push the pathetic legacy of some one who has failed America. Decades in politics to only make millions for themselves and not help the people she should represent. This tries too hard to make her look like a hero of the American people when she really just panders to people to make her more wealthy. Not so much a documentary, but a piece devised to further keep her party in power. There is no documentary that actually partway anyone in politics unbiased. I wish there was a neutral position on one "documentary" that shows both sides of the coin. Even the main photo of this biased piece makes it seem like she is actually something of substance.

I followed politics very closely for many years and always knew that pelosi was evil pure evil. I will say this documentary does give a huge insight into how much influence and damage she has done to this country for the last 40 plus years. It's amazing to think how much better we would be right now if she had never gotten into politics. Her hand has guided every corrupt bill and has had the biggest hand in the downward spiraling of the United States. It's criminal, sad part issue will never have to pay the price of all of the corruption and illegal things that she has done throughout the year. She didn't know it but her daughter has done us a favor. Hopefully history will look back on this documentary and learn some lessons.

This was real, live and very opening. Nothing political about it. Pelosi stood her ground to defend the Constitution. She will go down in history to have always defended the Constitution, and we the people. This was done in the perspective of her daughter, without bias, and the unique angel of always following her mother. Some good home movie moments as well, but it really came down to the insurrection, and how she kept her calm and lead the congress to restore democracy. It was not done professionally with lights, film cameras or sound equipment. Just a handheld phone. More realistic than a movie, though I'm sure there will be a movie on this. No actors, the real people in real situations. I recommend to those not afraid to face the truth to put it on their list of must see.

Book x-mas -Gift, why not make a documentary and put together her life from our standpoint of view, her offspring ,the lovely daughters,in laws, and grand and great(?)grand children of the speaker of the big house on the top of the hill, sitting there cause the rest of the land of district of colombia was just a rotten quagmire back then when it was constructed, NANCY PELOSI, that i as a norwegian, consider some of the best that has happened to american politics over the latter years... just a pitty shes taking the leave now after the autrocious attacks on her husband back in the sushine state of california. Yes its a verbal race in telephones running from rooms and corridors at capitol hill, with some stiff needled indian sundance trying to reach out to her grands at home, its shows some immortal moments of her political life and sense, but also the times of headbanging when in minority in the house of representatives. So beaware this is not a heavy biographical story, its more or less the true nancy that the daughter where able to catch on tape. I give it a five star, its allright thinks the grumpy old man.

What a wonderful tribute to a real human being with the needed energy, intelligence, compassion, and passion to do the right thing every moment with a sense of service and purpose. I loved watching her be a real citizen, mother, grandmother, wife, and woman while holding those accountable for actions that affect millions everyday. She will be greatly missed as someone who used her privilege and resources to empower the masses one decision, one vote, one phone call, one smile, one concern for those closest to her, as well as around the world, at a time. Those young, empowered new leaders can learn a lot from Speaker Pelosi through this documentary. Well-done.

Nancy's daughter may love her, may admire her and may have more access and insight to who she truly is, but that does not qualify her to be a documentary film maker. Not only does her lack of film making show, it comes off as a family centric historical passion piece and Nancy's legacy is deserving of more. There is so much drama and struggle that was not captured or shown. If you are wondering why ratings for this piece is low, that is why, in the hands of a capable or qualified film maker this could have been a defining piece for female leadership. This is the same mistake Nolan Ryan's son made in his doc last year, but at least there, you could tell he worked with an experienced crew and the gratuitous parts of that doc where clearly at the insistence of the children. You only get one bite at the apply and unfortunately this was not a good one. This was too long, too boring and too bland. I'd say Nancy's life is in the 10 range and this movie does not reflect that. Some times family needs to get out of their own way.

Not a Democrat I was still interested to learn more about Nancy's family history and her influences, likes, dislikes, kids, etc. Documentary spent about 10 minutes on that and the rest of the time on showing extreme leftwing media clips like MSNBC (a channel nobody watches or respects) and the old Democrat affliction; Trump Derangement Syndrom. It's an embarrassing look for Nancy. Nancy is undeniably a extremely successful woman and tough opponent in the world of politics. But would of been nice to more the mom, daughter, grandmother side of Nancy, more the things that make her human and approachable to even her political opposition.

A great recap of Speaker Pelosi's years in office: from her election to the house in 1987 all the way up to her announcement to resign as minority leader in 2023. The footage of the attack of the United States capitol on January 6, 2021 is absolutely astounding - you can see what it was like to be there in those uncertain hours that day. Some great reminders of past years in Washington of a time when leaders were civil to each other, even if they were on opposite sides of the aisle. Many of the negative reviews are politically driven and not an actual critique of the documentary itself, in my opinion.
