3.5 stars out of 4 -- WEINER is a documentary that plays as cringe comedy. Like that sub-genre, it comes packaged with a star whose irascibility often leads to eye-covering levels of discomfort.

WEINER is fascinating....The real draw here is watching a guy lie to himself and those around him as he blithely walks straight into quicksand. -- Grade: A-

Rating: A --
Fascinating documentary.

What Weiner makes painfully clear is the collateral damage of Weiner's actions... To that extent, it's possible to share his politics and still see him as a fatally flawed vessel for them.

What it does is capture the frenzy of politics, the iron-clad egos of politicians, and the failure of the media to cover the parts of campaigning and government that actually matter. -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club
WEINER is arguably the best documentary about American politics in many years.
The Atlantic
4 stars out of 5 -- Edited to perfection, this is like watching the slow-motion footage of a building collapsing....It is Weiner himself, a likable narcissist with an Olympic capacity for vanity and self-delusion, who is every documentary-maker’s dream subject.
