The rise and fall of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been given a lot of coverage, but this thoughtful, probing and revealing feature-length documentary directed by Ursula Macfarlane adds a constructive perspective to the allegations about him.

Almost every woman watching will understand. Some men will, too. If these films add to their number, maybe we can begin to change the world.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 4, 2019

"Untouchable" features some less-than-effective filmmaking decisions, from an over-the-top ominous score to an overabundance of driving-through-the-city segues to some murky shots of hotel corridors.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 3, 2019

Where Untouchable excels... is in capturing the complexities surrounding sexual assault.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 3, 2019

Listening to these women specifically say what Harvey [Weinstein] did to them made me deeply uncomfortable.

| Sep 3, 2019

A clarifying documentary like Untouchable is in order, because the cascade of allegations and headlines that have spilled forth since late 2017 has resulted in a mass forgetting of how this all started.

| Sep 3, 2019

The repetitive nature of the testimonies does not make it any easier to hear them. Each is like a fresh pinch of salt being sifted onto a cut, one that refuses to scar over -- it's partially what gives this portrait of a monster its power.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 3, 2019

As horrifying as it was to hear of Weinstein's abject pathology and all the disgusting ways in which it operated, what I most admired about [Ursula] Macfarlane's film was its subtle placing of him in a wider culture.

| Sep 3, 2019

A respectable and all-too-real introduction to a chilling chapter of a Hollywood horror story.

| Sep 2, 2019

The most powerful moments in Untouchable come thanks to Weinstein's victims, who once more bear the burden of reliving their past trauma in an effort to make a difference.

| Aug 30, 2019

Untouchable doesn't provide all the answers, but it frames this still-unfolding story -- and the entertainment industry's awakening to it -- in stark, thoughtful and unsettling detail.

Ursula Macfarlane's sombre film is largely composed of lengthy interviews, many of them gruelling, interspersed with archive stills and a bare minimum of film clips.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2019

[T]his documentary is more than a portrait of one monstrous man. It's a polemic against the complicit silence that accompanied years of alleged sexual misconduct, abuse and bullying.

| Aug 30, 2019

The film is most effective when the combined forces of those interviewed firmly establishes the systemic problem of abuse of power. It highlights the importance of speaking up but also offers an understanding of why some might be apprehensive to do so.

| Original Score: B | Feb 8, 2019

[Its] directorial decisions only highlight just how much the doc has to say with its content, but not as much with its form.

| Feb 5, 2019

A vital document of women regaining control of their own narrative.

| Feb 4, 2019

[A] methodical, unmissable takedown.

| Jan 31, 2019

Its uncomfortably dramatic score and soft-focus recreations of alleged encounters lend the documentary the tone of a "Cold Case Files" episode. The dissonance between the women's emotional testimony and the film's aesthetic choices is unfortunate.

| Jan 29, 2019

And for all Untouchable rails against the systemic injustices that kept Weinstein in power, and the complicity of the people who looked the other way, it doesn't really shed any new light on on the institutions or the industry that let him flourish.

| Jan 28, 2019

A worthy first step.
