Nell Minow RogerEbert.com It is an unabashed but superficial love letter to the proudly bipartisan Senator and a bittersweet love letter to a time that seems quaintly innocent in its civility. Rated: 3/4 Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht If you’re going to approach this as a study of the politics of the last 30 years, it works. If the point is to make Joe Lieberman look like the most honorable man in politics during that time, it’s a failure. Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Michael Medved The Michael Medved Show An expertly assembled and ultimately inspiring tribute to a politician who was at the crossroads of history and ideology. Rated: 3/4 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Ryan Silberstein MovieJawn While not everything Lieberman did was outright awful, it is interesting to see what things this idealized portrait thinks are worth celebrating and what things are entirely omitted. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Say what you will about Senator Joe Lieberman's own political legacy, Centered: Joe Lieberman shows that he stayed true to his values, for better or worse.
