Reviews
“Even Barack Obama can only shape his own image in the history books to a limited extent. But its pop image does. The lines between the two are blurring anyway. The gentle exaggeration with which 'Southside With You' highlights the ice cream shop in front of which Michelle and Barack kiss for the first time, fits into this staging. In the end, the film is just another 'origin story' of a superhero: Barack Begins. "
“Seen in this way, My First Lady is not primarily a film about the president and his wife, but above all a film about the magic of love, as the director experienced it himself. Instead of primarily telling the story of the incumbent presidential couple, Tanne focuses on making two people look real and their attraction look real. The fact that the two will later be the President and the First Lady is basically a bonus. "
“That“ Southside With You ”has meticulously reverse-engineered our knowledge of the Obamas into a sweet, sexy, highly flattering youth portrait is less a criticism than a simple statement of fact. Whether taken as storytelling, propaganda or an artful hybrid of both, it's a movie that unabashedly wraps its real-life subjects in a humanizing embrace. "
