"Writer-director Sorrentino and cinematographer Dario D’Antonio have created a gorgeously spacious tapestry. Save for a couple of rap songs and a goofy sing-along led by de Santis, no music score breaks the hush as though anxious not to interrupt the president’s train of thought. The epic sense of space conveys how power often isolates the powerful. Whatever this politician’s shortcomings, every nation could use more politicians like him. Whether we get them is very much up to us."
