Weiner

Former US Representative Anthony Weiner’s catastrophic race for Mayor of New York City in 2013 is detailed in this fascinating, behind-the-scenes documentary. Weiner became embroiled in his second widely publicized sexting scandal during the race, derailing his once-promising political comeback. Filmmakers Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg had unprecedented access to the tabloid-grabbing candidate and his campaign—during the good times and bad—while filming, which adds enormous depth and perspective to what Indiewire’s Eric Kohn called, “the best documentary about a political campaign ever made.” A smash hit out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival—where it won the US Grand Jury Prize: Documentary—Weiner is one of this year’s must-see documentaries, and one that will soon take its place among other great political docs like The War Room and The Fog of War.
