Oh, if only the filmmaker could have hung on until November 2016!
I just finished watching this documentary ten minutes ago, after first hearing about it less than two hours before. It is absolutely RIVETING and deserves every one of the many awards it has won. I am amazed that Weiner allowed the filmmaker such total access to his campaign and inner circle during his Mayoral run.
I must say that after watching this documentary, I have considerably more respect for the man now than I ever did before.
That said, the documentary ends the day after Weiner's Dem primary loss in 2013. It would have been SOOO much better if it had included his THIRD sexting go-around (with a 15-year-old girl in 2016) that ended with criminal charges, to which he pled guilty and will have to register as a Sex Offender. Sentencing is tomorrow (expected to be 2-3 years in prison.)
Perhaps there could be an addendum added to the film?
