Reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 10 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.5/10.[4]
Joe Leydon of Variety wrote, "It helps a lot that Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid intersperses scenes depicting the high drama of the 2024 presidential race with the relentless evolution of Carville from political neophyte to indefatigable kingmaker."[5]
Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Aside from the overemphasis on Joe Biden's age (Carville is only a year or two younger) and stubbornness in remaining in the presidential race — until he didn't — the film may be relevant in introducing young viewers to an experienced operative. And the portrait of a marriage of political contraries may inspire some people to believe in the possibility of finding common ground with someone whose views you mainly despise."[2]
