Running with Beto Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Running With Beto is an intimate, thorough look at a candidate on the rise and on the go.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
"Running With Beto" encapsulates O'Rourke's impact with headlines and media reports of a potential victory superimposed on aerial shots of various counties, devices that keep the story engaging while reflecting O'Rourke's evolving confidence.

Danielle Solzman
Running with Beto is a solid look at the inner-workings of a senate campaign...
The MacGuffin
Sarah Ksiazek
He is hitting the ground running, and at the end of the film, the audience feels hopeful about what this man and his family have coming to them in the future.
The Daily Dot
Ignacio Martinez
Fortunately, director David Modigliani avoids delivering a stillborn time capsule and provides us with a candid, compelling watch.
Should I See It
Michael Ward
...we cannot help but become emotionally invested, even if we know how this all will end.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
If its purpose is to explain O'Rourke's strengths as a candidate, it makes a solid argument that his aspirations should go back to his tactical strengths, and his ambition switch from nationwide back to statewide.
Mashable
Angie Han
Naturally, O'Rourke is the star at the center of this movie, and he comes across well enough. Maybe a little too well: Even a handful of less flattering moments can't stop Running with Beto from feeling, at times, like a feature-length campaign promo.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Oddly,... "Running With Beto" is most compelling when O'Rourke isn't in it.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
"Running With Beto" works best, in other words, when viewed as a marathon, not a sprint.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
Running With Beto captures how much enthusiasm has been generated by those frustrated by both President Trump and Republican decision-making at various levels of government.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
It's not always a flattering portrait of the rising political star, but it's a deeply fascinating look at O'Rourke's persistence and perfectionism.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Beto may not sway viewers who think the rising star has a long way to go before deserving a position higher than the Senate; but it's sure to leave lefties eager for the next chapter in his career.
Variety
Peter Debruge
To the extent that O'Rourke seems like a normal guy, "Running With Beto" naturally focuses much of its attention on his family, showing the strain the campaign puts on his wife Amy and three young kids.
National Review
Kyle Smith
The director of the film is otherwise so unable to generate any heat from his room-temperature candidate that he hands over scenes to fans and volunteers, some of whom are much more colorful.

Roger Catlin
His enthusiasm is infectious, even as his family gets wary of his relentless campaigning.
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
Both are incredibly inspiring, both elicit tears in their triumphs and their losses, and both illustrate exactly why Beto O'Rourke and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez caught fire in 2018.
Edge Media Network
Derek Deskins
The film does an admirable job of painting an image of Beto the person, rather than just the politician.
Austin American-Statesman
Natalie Mokry
To its credit, "Running With Beto" speaks to a much larger phenomenon and moment in time.
The Daily Beast
Matt Wilstein
Modigliani manages to create so much narrative tension that you start to wonder if this young, energetic, inspiring candidate might be able to pull it off in the end.
