Edited to perfection, this is like watching the slow-motion footage of a building collapsing.

Et uhyggeligt skarpt foto af en valgkamp, som et medie-dirigeret politisk underholdnings show.

...et stærkt underholdende portræt af både det fejlbarlige menneske Anthony Weiner og såvel amerikansk politik som medierne.

Filmen har ett otroligt bra tempo och känns inte tråkig en enda gång under sin drygt en och en halv timmes speltid. Berättelsen väcker en hel del intressanta frågor och kommentarer...
