I was most curious of this film having only known what was in the papers and on TV. Anthony Weiner appears to have gotten over the initial scandal prior to deciding to run for governor of New York. He seemed sincere in his desires to help people have a better life and to do better for New York. Then a 23 yr old from Las Vegas releases the information that she had been sexting with him for quite awhile and his campaign and life are in deep trouble again. I do not have a good opinion of the young lady - not that she set out to destroy Weiner - but she appeared to want the spotlight for herself. The person who I feel the most sorry for is his wife - to have put one scandal behind her and then have it happen again - I'm sure her trust in him was shattered both times. As the movie goes on you notice her standing back and offering less advice/opinion. He strikes me as another narcissistic politician who felt he could do anything and get away with it. I am sure the facts were presented well - makes you wonder why on earth he agreed to have the videographers follow him for this campaign. A very interesting movie of our political people - not all are like him but we know there are more too.
