Critics Consensus

Weiner uses sharp insight and untrammeled access to offer a portrait of a political and personal collapse that's as queasy as it is undeniably compelling.

It's a fabulously entertaining view from inside a political campaign, giving us a firsthand experience of all the weird, Good Wife-style maneuvering that takes place.

What Weiner makes painfully clear is the collateral damage of Weiner's actions... To that extent, it's possible to share his politics and still see him as a fatally flawed vessel for them.

3.5/4

Weiner shows, without embellishment, without cinematic sleight of hand, that a person's worst enemy remains themselves.

In my opinion, I felt that the movie was very good, behind all this, the filmmaker was able to come up with the right festive details to congratulate the members of the behind-the-scenes team.

Lands the message that leadership is not for everyone and we expect those in power to be powerful, admirable and in control of their basic decision making processes.

Up there with "Icarus" as one of the best examples of Documentary Filmmakers striking gold with an unbelievable change of circumstance occurring mid-film. But getting lucky is only half of it. How you handle that twist is where the professionalism and brilliance of this movie shines.

Il documentario usa uno stile vivace e movimentato per raccontare un episodio senza dubbio interessante. Dal film emergono temi e riflessioni mai superficiali e colpisce per il livello di profondità con la quale si è calato nelle elezioni neworkesi del 2013.
