David F

This is a very good documentary about Harvey Weinstein, his abuses, and his downfall. It is told through interviews with people he attacked, people he worked with, and the journalists who chronicled his downfall. It recounts his rise and the role he played in the independent film world of the 1990s but also has great eyewitness testimony about his temper, his cruelty, and his sexual abuse. This is a definitive account of Weinstein.

A disgusting portrait of a pig of a man who has wreaked destruction over decades in Hollywood. It just goes to show how money and power corrupts.

This documentary does a wonderful job of pulling back the curtain and helping you understand how Harvey Weinstein was able to get away with his crimes so long, how it impacted those that he hurt, and why they kept silent. It's a documentary that pulls no punches yet never feels overly salacious. It is thoughtful, fascinating, and disturbing.

Shows everything about how Hollywood and the press are. Harvey got away with too much and not many took a stand to stop him.

The Age (Australia)

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.

Guardian

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.

Rated: 5/5

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

"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.

Rated: 3/4

Hammer to Nail

A complex, unsettling, but ultimately cathartic experience, the film is necessary viewing as our society finally takes stock of its deplorable treatment of women.

Cinema Sentries

Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg and Untouchable reminds us that there are plenty of Harvey Weinsteins out there in various industries using their power and privilege to intimidate and silence victims of sexual assault.
