Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

aidenmalecky I'm glad they made this time capsule of a film. It documents the lives of a diverse group of Americans on election day, beginning in the morning and running through the night, after the results of Trump's victory are in. In addition to showing staunch Trump supporters and die-hard Hilary supporters, it shows Americans of other political persuasions. This includes an under-the-radar third party candidate running for president himself, some non-voters and a woman campaigning for conservative alternative to Trump, Evan McMullen. There's also the footage of workers in a newsroom, scrambling to change their headlines/stories/cartoons as the unexpected results roll in. In capturing these various personalities, experiences and emotional reactions, it successfully portrays how we're all connected, whether we like it or not.

vancewallace47 Didnt bother watching this one but I still noticed something wrong with it none the less lol... They overlooked a mistake involving the image of the flag on the films cover/poster. When displaying the flag vertically rather than the traditional horizontal display the stars are actually supposed to be placed in the top left corner. However, you can see in the poster/cover of the film they got it backwards. Tsk, Tsk tsk... lol.... I couldn't care less by the way, I just found it amusing that a movie about the current state of our nation still missed that mistake. Lol

zkonedog There is no doubt that the 2016 election was one of (if not the) most polarizing in the history of the United States. What "11/8/16" does is capture the initial, gut, visceral reactions of people on that day.I really liked how the documentary tries to form a sort of narrative for itself by starting at the beginning of the day with all the families/people it profiles, and then following those people throughout the day as the balance starts shifting from "Hillary is going to easily win" to "this is going to be a tight race". This strategy really captures what it felt like on that day.A lot of reviewers have mentioned the "liberal slant" of this documentary (and I think that's the reason for its very middling rating), and there is a definitive bias towards those who wanted Clinton to be victorious. However, I didn't feel that this at all ruined the experience. In fact, for the narrative of this doc to really work dramatically, it had to be focused more on that side of the story.I enjoyed watching "11/8/16" because it was able to put me back into the whirlwind of emotions of that momentous day. Even though the candidate whose name I scratched on the ballot did not win, I'm fascinated by Presidential politics as a whole and thus am always interested in new perspectives.

mftalex This "documentary" was entertaining and I enjoyed listen to the various viewpoints. The problem is, the "documentary" viewpoints were overwhelmingly one-sided. The movie did show a few Trump supporters but the entire movie was edited and the questions asked were against Trump. In my opinion, a "documentary" should show an unbiased viewpoint and analysis on the topics discussed. I especially did not like how they made the couple from Michigan (if i remember correctly) look bad by only showing a small portion of the conversation they were having when they mentioned Muslims. Additionally, the movie shows the racism and how the Hillary supporters talked down about the other side. The "documentary" showed the producers opinion instead of an unbiased analysis. A problem our entertainment industry has.
