Reviews
Running a taut 96 minutes, it's the must-see nonfiction film of the year.Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
The result is a fascinating portrait of a politician - a man who, it seems, doesn't feel that he exists unless someone's looking at him.Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
"Why have you let me film this?" a voice behind the camera asks disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, who for a change can't spin an answer. It's a question the jaw-dropping documentary Weiner raises repeatedly.Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times
