Rating: B- --
"Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll President" is more of a side-dish to his legacy than the feature-length format can sustain.

Rating: 3/4 --
Even more than the music itself, or Carter's passion for it, this alertness to sharedness is what ultimately makes the film moving as well as so pleasurable.

By mostly avoiding partisan politics, this documentary portrait of the 39th president finds its rhythm.

Watching "Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll President," it's hard not to be stirred by the testimonials, from people like Dylan and Nelson and Bono, to Carter's fine-grained humanity.

Variety
3 stars out of 4 -- Wharton’s wholesome documentary reimagines the peaceful southerner from misunderstood policymaker to musical connoisseur in a brisk yet charming fashion.

Product Description:
This documentary presents a different perspective of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter: as the first sitting president who embraced and encouraged rock-and-roll and championed popular music as an integral part of American culture. The film highlights Carter's affinity for songs that championed the working class, notably by Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, and his strong bonds and lasting friendships with several musicians such as The Allman Brothers and U2's Bono. The film also shows how he championed various musicians during his time at the White House. Directed by Mary Wharton.
