Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at Sundance, this riveting film chronicles the New York City mayoral campaign of Anthony Weiner in 2013, just two years after he had resigned from congress in a “sexting” scandal. With unprecedented access to Weiner, his family and his campaign team, this remarkable documentary is a thrilling look inside a political comeback-turned-meltdown. As crippling 24-hour news coverage dissects his every move, and with the City of New York as a loud and bustling backdrop, Weiner walks the line between political farce and personal tragedy as it plunges through an increasingly baffling political campaign with unflinching clarity, humor and pathos. Bestowing the film with the San Francisco Chronicle’s highest rating, movie critic Mick LaSalle wrote: “Weiner wanted to be mayor. Instead he’s the star of a great movie.” (US 2016) 100 min.
