My Name Is Bulger offers an even-handed account of the Brothers Bulger, covering all their personal and professional bases and giving the family a chance to remove part of the stain from the Bulger name.

Byrne's film is thus far more compelling when concentrating on William and his offspring, revealing a family still struggling to free themselves from their relative's dark shadow...

This doc illustrates pitch perfectly how one sibling's choices can over shadow the other and how at the end of the day family comes first for the slain gangster and his politician brother

Lots of cops taking credit for (what?). Some victims' relatives being happy. No real sense of who this guy is, what he did, why an Irish gang prospered instead of the Mafia. What was unique about Boston, in that case? Some people making comments about Connolly. A trivial program, sloppily produced.
