      Audience Member https://youtu.be/1uYWYWPc9HU Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The standard doc focusing on Hollywood Titan Harvey Weinstien and the impact that he had on the industry throughout the independent film movement through to 2010. Contains a lot of familiar information already out their for public consumption, and I am assuming due to fear of speaking out, a lot of the big name talent don't appear on camera to offer their opinions regarding him, with the exception of Marty Scorsese who delivers a very pc approach to the proceedings considering he survived the epic battles in production on Gangs of New York. Probably the closest we are going to get to a Down and Dirty with Pictures documentary based on the Peter Biskind novel. Average, and would have loved some more punch to the proceedings along with seeing the repurchase of the Miramax library and the back to back Best Picture wins for Harvey for the Speech and Artist to amp up the drama at the end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A good representation of recent film history at a time when cinema is broken and will never be the same again. Demonstrates the importance of marketing, the natural law of divergence and the rebel joining the gentlemen's club. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member (Watched Sun 29 Jan 2012) The closest we're going to get to Down and Dirty Pictures: The Movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting, though not at all cinematic, review of Wienstein's career. Felt mostly like a bloated television biography than unauthorized expose. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I already knew he was an ass, so it didn't really shed any light, just left with the question- did Harvey Weinstein kill independent film?

      Rick Groen Globe and Mail For those with an innate interest in Weinstein, the doc will likely seem redundant, just a scattershot compendium of already familiar information. Rated: 2/5 Sep 24, 2012 Full Review John Anderson New York Times Compensates for a lack of revelation with portentous music and a rather ham-fisted narration by the actor Peter Fonda. Rated: 2/5 Oct 9, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
