Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

In an age of political pygmies and silent observers often too scared to say the wrong thing in case it hurts in the popularity stakes, to look back upon the series of debates which overshadowed the Republican and Democratic conventions of 1968 is to step into another world.

Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon’s Best of Enemies is one of those documentaries that comes out of nowhere but delights the political beast inside from the first reels and stays to conquer with its juicy commentary and ravishing pay off; it is a documentary that many might shy away from but it is to their detriment that they do so.
