One of the most fascinating, thought-provoking movies of the year.

Where Weiner shines is in the unprecedented access to this meteoric rise and fall.

The access filmmakers Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg got is remarkable. There are plenty of profoundly uncomfortable moments on display.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 28, 2020

Filming him, Huma and his staff throughout the scandal is creatively smart, and watching the drama enfold as election day draws closer is as exciting as political documentaries get.

Weiner is a brisk, laugh-out-loud, fascinating peek into the campaign offices and living rooms of the people ensnared in Anthony Weiner's bizarre political saga.

If Weiner was a scripted film it wouldn't be nearly as impressive, but the fact that the filmmakers were able to perfectly translate Weiner's doomed campaign to film makes it impressive.

Here is the perfect example of what happens when all players, including the voters, behave according to their nature.

At once painful, painfully funny, horrifying, and utterly, completely, depressingly riveting.

Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg's captivating political documentary Weiner could just as easily be named Huma, the film's second subject who proves equally as captivating.

Fascinating documentary.

| Original Score: A | Apr 11, 2019

Weiner's offhand gallows humour, and a wealth of archive material make for a tragicomic masterpiece.

This brilliant, fast-moving, totally entertaining documentary's huge achievement is to take a minor American political figure and make his life totally involving and thought-provoking to audiences outside America.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 20, 2019

Weiner is trying to re-launch his brand, but it's the media who ultimately decide how it will be sold.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 7, 2018

The beauty of the film's representation of the Weiner-Abedin subplot is that a fiction film couldn't have captured it any better.

Anthony Weiner will be a gross and embarrassing footnote in history, albeit a masterfully documented footnote.

The crew tackles the behind-the-scenes of a political family better than House of Cards, juggling intimacy and work's reality while each side jockeys for control.

| Aug 28, 2018

Cue a very modern morality tale of hubris, lust for power and the inadvisability of sending naughty pics via mobile phones, all expertly told by directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2018
