No, actually there's not much to say, just read, listen his (GBH's) interviews with media.
Show me one that is coherent,

I think most were other than near the end.

contains more than quarter truth.

Examples please other than the hedging on issues about God being a man and so on.

He evenhandedly started the demise of the
church.

Is the LDS Church in demise?

So much dis ingenuity, lies, propaganda's he perpetrated.

Again examples would be nice.

Oh, wait, do you recall, he was saying; "No tithing money will be spent on downtown building".

Technically this is correct, even though all assets that generate non tithe money started somewhere at some point in time with tithes.

The cost is already tripled.

It has? How do you know this?

I am very glad he didn't manage my corporation. I know what fiscal responsibility is.

My guess is the fiscal health of the LDS Church is quite fine but I concede since the financials are not published we do not know.

He was an administrator and a corporation PR man all his life. He didn't even serve in war. What is there about his life that could possibly fill up 120 minutes of cinema time?

Actually, from an LDS standpoint he had a very eventful life. After all he essentially ran the Church from 1980 or so to his death.

As far as I can tell, though, the movie doesn't cover his life as prophet (or even as apostle).

OK, I would genuinely like to know. What were his great achievements?

What was Hinckley's unique impact on Mormonism.

"Remember that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time"
( “Thomas S. Monson : The Call to Serve,” Ensign, Nov. 2000, 48–49.)

Because they are antonyms of each other. From the mouth of a prophet, it sounds as revelation - or something as ethernal truth.

What's that in the video where little Gordon has soap in his mouth while standing at the washbasin, and in the background, we hear something like: before he taught others, he was taught by his mother,...or something stupid like that?

Really, with the soap in his mouth? That actually just gives me the shivers thinking back on my childhood. My parents had the same soap-in-the-mouth strategy, as Gordon's dear parents, apparently.

How sweet.

"Before he was an older man ... he was a younger man."

If only they had kept going and added, "Before the film was made ... there was reality".

by the way, I really liked President Hinckley and I doubt he would have allowed the Church to engage in political involvement so massively in the recent California election.

I can't help you if you cannot read & interpret GBH's own words.
His speeches & interviews are so plain to read, you really don't need a third party to
interpret them for you.
Here some of them, compiled by Deconstructor;

Thanks to him Mormons have 8 temples in 80mi corridor, talk about excess.
I mean, is there any checks & balances in this enterprise?
It must be, otherwise we'd have the temple in Paris he promised.
Just when you think we got a little better cooler head prophet, he announces
another temple in Rome.....

I haven't been around too long as a CFO/CEO, no matter how much money I'd have
I wouldn't spend huge chunks of it to show offs.
It will catch up eventually.

Even then it would be awfully hard to feel sorry for decent folks who follow this hierarchy.
They have all the evidences to make up their mind

And both are like watching paint dry.
