Dir: Josh Kriegman & Elyse Steinberg / 2016 / US / 96 min / DCP

Winner of the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary, Weiner is a fly-on-the-wall account of scandal-plagued Anthony Weiner’s failed 2013 bid to become mayor of New York. The directing duo of Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg gained unbelievable access to Weiner’s disastrous campaign as his second widely-publicized sexting scandal began to unfold, derailing his once-promising political career. 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. Owen Glieberman of Variety calls Weiner “the most relevant documentary since Fahrenheit 9/11.”
