Jimmy Carter Man From Plains

Jimmy Carter Man From Plains is at times dull, and at others engrossing, but always informative and provocative. These sometimes draggy two hours feel like time well-spent with a gentleman, and Lord knows there aren't many Presidents you can say that about these days. Jonathan Demme's Jimmy Carter Man From Plains, like Neil Young: Heart of Gold, is a poignant portrait of a great man. Although this isn't some backstage tour with The Rolling Stones, this documentary definitely has its moments. An intriguing document of a man's public and private life and has yet further value as the most significant film ever made about a former U.S. president.
