And the critics say:

NY Times:

Mr. Franken, like his principal adversaries (some appear in the film), represents a relatively new and rapidly proliferating species: the ideological celebrity, hero to partisans and anathema to foes, who reaps money and renown throwing red (or, as the case may be, blue) meat to true believers. “Al Franken: God Spoke,” ... is perhaps best viewed as an investigation of the phenomenon of ideological celebrity, with Mr. Franken as a willing case study.

NY Post:

LIBERAL HELPING OF AL
THERE is a lot of preaching to the converted in Nick Doob and Chris Hedges' "Al Franken: God Spoke," an adoring and fairly haphazard look behind the scenes with the comedian and liberal gadfly. ...
The film superficially covers the difficult birth of the left-leaning Air America radio network (with Franken as its best-known name) ... but the most revealing segments are Franken's confrontations with conservative spinmeisters.

Radio, TV, cable, books. Is Al the new "King of All Media."
