1. • • The First Step is an intriguing political documentary. Its only real flaw is its overly dramatic editing at times. The sometimes forced storytelling detracts from the film in a way that can be jarring: Some moments feel real, while others feel performed.

   • When progress is usually messier as it's happening than when it's remembered, the ability of The First Step to engage with the moment that it's in is invaluable. The First Step works because it's as honest about the state of government as it is passionate about doing so. "The First Step," while illuminating and intimate, is also self-promoting.
