Though he may be preaching to the choir, Keating provides plenty of evidence to back his claims about the former NYC mayor.

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter While Giuliani Time offers a wealth of important information that many might have long forgotten, its impact is diluted by its heavily biased nature and lack of balance. Jun 20, 2006 Full Review Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times With the former mayor currently enjoying one of the rare second acts in American political life, Giuliani Time does a strong job of reminding us what the first one was like. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 16, 2006 Full Review Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly Giuliani Time energetically deflates one trumpeted myth after another about Giuliani's success at turning the city around from its doldrums in the 1970s. Jun 15, 2006 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Web Radio Keating makes the case that a Giuliani presidency would be an exceedingly bad idea, juxtaposing the politician's public persona and veneer of fake charm, with his vicious dark side that periodically peers through. Sep 29, 2007 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat A chilling record of a politician whose modus operandi includes incessant lying, taking credit for other peoples' achievements, blatant racism and imperious governing. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 25, 2007 Full Review Kam Williams EURWeb Damning documentary indicts the ex-mayor as deserving to be remembered not for the clean-up of the Twin Towers, but for his utter lack of compassion for the impoverished and working classes. Rated: 4/4 Mar 13, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Shakimono V I definitely recommend watching this documentary. I actually met Kevin Keating on the A train in NYC while I was performing poetry and sharing (selling) my digital art prints. He gifted me the dvd and said it was very important and he was so right. I absolutely LOVED it! This is film deserves more recognition. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Audience Member My new mentor produced and directed this film....I'm next!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Giuliani is exposed for what he is in this film. Long, but I liked it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Giuliani had to clean up the city. If he needed to bust some heads to do it, good for him. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent but bias doc on who the real Rudy Giuliani is very enjoyable 8 out of 10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member simple documentary, but effectively portrays his term as mayor of nyc before he came "america's mayor" or whatever. if you're interested in nyc, or urban politics/studies, check this movie out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
