The Guardian - Lanre Bakare
A riveting excursion into fear and loathing on the campaign trail.

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
The filmmakers have instead provided a brilliant window into the impact of the contemporary media circus on public life. While not exactly a figure of sympathy — he lied, after all, more than once — Weiner nevertheless maintains the charisma and drive to provide the movie with one of the most compelling anti-heroes in recent memory.

Entertainment Weekly - Chris Nashawaty
If this soap opera wasn’t real, you’d never believe it.

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
It's an invigorating chance to experience from afar an ordeal that, unless your name is Eliot Spitzer, you and I will never have to endure.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Weiner is a tabula rasa documentary — one of the most provocative of its kind I’ve seen.
