"The Hunting of the President is a stunning, shocking film
about how a small right-wing cabal attempted to overthrow a popularly
elected President of the United States. How they got away with it
for so long is amazing, but thankfully Harry Thomason has put it all
together leaving the viewer one big question, what are these people up
to now? I encourage
everyone to see this film. - Director Michael Moore "Fahrenheit
9/11"
 "Riveting and revealing,
whatever views you have on the partisan issues involved."
--David Sterritt, THE
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
"Those squeamish about
Michael Moore's methodology, however, should check out..."The Hunting
of the President." Thomason's movie, with its revelations of how Susan
McDougal was pressured to lie to incriminate Hillary Clinton, is
substantively more damning
than 'Fahrenheit 9/11.'"
--Tina
Brown, THE WASHINGTON POST
 "Mixing talking-head interviews, news and archival footage,
the filmmakers weave an undeniably
spellbinding tale of outright hostility distilled into political
poison."
"Whatever your politics,
it is a very, very powerful
look at eight recent years of our history that I think we need to
remember and reflect on. Harry
Thomason, wonderful job!"
--Catherine
Crier, COURT TV
"In stringing the evidence
together in one place, it makes a powerful case."
--Jack
Matthews, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
 " For a fascinating
political thriller double bill, plan to see both "The Hunting of
the President" and "The Manchurian Candidate" this weekend. Both are
cautionary tales about the power of unprincipled, well-financed
conspirators to disrupt America's democratic process. Both are
well-made, but for my money, the
incendiary "Hunting" is far scarier. It really happened."
--Colin
Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

EDITOR'S CHOICE
--Ken Fox, TVGUIDE
"The film
is a sobering chronicle of
the depressing circus of persecution and pseudo-scandal that was the
Clinton years."
--Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"incendiary...
an alarming treatise on the political power of the media and personal
interests"
-- Elizabeth Richardson and Joseph
Beyer, SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
"...an eye-opening
and occasionally chilling
look at the lengths to which some will go to
destroy someone they perceive as a threat to their way of life... The
message is clear, and powerfully told. Extra credit should be given for
managing to get Susan McDougal to tell the story of her ordeal and
imprisonment in her own terms."
--Pete Vonder Haar, FILM THREAT
"Fahrenheit 9/11...must
be viewed in the context of another new documentary, the superb The Hunting of the
President, that documents —irrefutably— the lengths to which the right
went to destroy Bill Clinton."
-- David
Edelstein, Slate
"This probing documentary...
astutely allowing participants to tell their own tales... creates an
emotional connection with people whose names are familiar from nightly
news reports but whose intimate stories are not."
-- Cathy Ross, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"...when you combine
"Fahrenheit 9/11" with another, less polemical, more straightforwardly frightening
must-see documentary that's out now called "The Hunting of the
President," which delineates the GOP's shockingly savage, calculated,
historic attempt to destroy Bill Clinton, you've got a portrait of a
Republican Party that makes the frayed ragtag fundamentalist nutballs
of the Taliban look like the participants at some sort of Tupperware
party."
--Mike Morford, SFGATE
"The
Hunting of
the President," a potent
screen translation of Gene Lyons and Joe
Conason's bestseller, methodically compiles evidence suggesting there
was indeed (as Hillary famously put it) "a vast right-wing conspiracy"
waged against the Clinton White House. No matter one's party
affiliation, docu is worth seeing for its eye-opening look at how
disreputable characters can impact government -- and how easily the
mainstream media can be duped into covering scandal-smelling leads."
--Dennis Harvey, VARIETY.COM
"The big draw was
"The Hunting of the President," a funny, frightening
documentary about
the 10-year campaign to discredit Bill and Hillary Clinton."
-- Jane Sumner, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS
