[It] captures the range of Schreck's autobiographical recounting of her days as a speech debater. Sound dry? Not at all.

What the show does so movingly is to examine the moral leaps that this old, outdated set of rules requires us to make in the present moment.

Though winningly performed by Schreck, the fact that the show is so forthright about the fundamental inequities of the US and yet still considers this structure up for debate speaks to a blinkered worldview, which is quite disappointing.

Please don't let the title be a turn-off because, yes, it is about the Constitution but only as a reference point to a whole variety of subjects, somber, heart-breaking, insightful and funny.

Live Broadway cast production of a play about how the personal becomes political.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 26, 2020

The art and thrill of political debate informs every part of Schreck's work, shrewdly captured for the camera.

| Oct 22, 2020

This is a highly personal take, not a historical or legal lecture. Yet Schreck succeeds in widening her autobiographical play into a paean for basic fairness...

| Oct 22, 2020

An audacious idea, one that starts slowly -- at least in this format -- before sinking in its hooks about halfway through.

[Marielle] Heller excels at finding the nuance in every beat, knowing when to focus on Schreck, and pull back to respect her space.

This will enlighten you on Constitutional theory. It will also deliver solid entertainment, heartfelt personal stories, sublime performances, and a taste of what we lost when live theater was shuttered seven months ago.

| Original Score: 9.5/10 | Oct 20, 2020

While its subject-matter is American, there is universality in its philosophical arguments around law-making, power, fairness, and broadening the concept of freedom within ancient definitions.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 20, 2020

The filmed version of What the Constitution Means to Me (with direction from Won't You Be My Neighbor's Marielle Heller) captures that moving, angry, heartbreaking, and strangely inspiring Broadway show.

| Oct 20, 2020

Rousing, enlightened, and (somehow) fun.

| Oct 20, 2020

What the Constitution Means to Me comes across just as energetic, engaging and vital over streaming as it did while on the stage. That is no easy feat.

| Original Score: A | Oct 20, 2020

Between Schreck, Ciprian, and Williams What the Constitution Means to Me becomes a hopeful vision and reminder that the Constitution a living document, but one that needs to be brought alive constantly by successive generations.

| Oct 19, 2020

The charm, humor and, most important, the stirring directness of Schreck's performance are preserved in all their remarkable individuality onscreen.

| Oct 19, 2020

Schreck has slyly designed "What the Constitution Means to Me" to appear rambling and extemporaneous, when in fact, her monologue is carefully calibrated in how it parcels out her deeply personal perspective.

| Oct 19, 2020

Rarely has a play been so miraculously timed as this one, yet the timing goes beyond mere happenstance.

| Oct 19, 2020

The entire 104-minute show is performed in a single "room," so it comes down to the sheer strength of Schreck's writing and performance to hold an audience's attention. Schreck more than pulls it off.

| Oct 19, 2020

By clearly outlining the problems in our country right now, Schreck provocatively ushers in a debate about the future.
