Weiner

This documentary was really difficult for me to watch. Weiner gave this documentary crew tremendous access to his life and his campaign. I was honestly stunned with how much he allowed them to film. But what was was most shocking was the relationship between Weiner and Abedin. Speaking very frankly, Weiner seemed abusive and awful to Abedin throughout most of the film. A reporter commented, after watching them together, that Huma looked like an abused spouse, and I totally agree with that assessment. Weiner was a bully, not just to her, but to people on the street, to reporters, and to everyone who dared stand up to him. Knowing the most recent scandal that has broken from his camp, I feel sickened by everything that has transpired. This is a brilliant documentary about a subject that, for me, was just very difficult to watch. 5/5
