The New York Times -
Although it only glosses the mechanics of local politics, it exudes an endearingly scruffy charm.

Portland Oregonian -
Perhaps the most curious omission from the movie Grassroots is that there's no mention at all of the classic "Simpsons" episode "Marge vs. the Monorail."

NPR -
Grassroots is a movie where bad ideas, because they're the ones championed by the "correct" side, are king. It never acknowledges that sometimes idealism is just another kind of manipulation.

The Hollywood Reporter -
A campaign movie for viewers who, if they care about politics at all, certainly don't require the full Sorkin treatment.

Variety -
Registers like a quaint display of local color.
