Client 9 Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
As Gibney demonstrates in Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer, plenty of politicians remained in office amid similar revelations.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Client 9" is made with skill and intelligence, but I kept wanting to hear another story; one that I hadn't heard before.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
You want tears? You want convulsive sobs, weepy remorse, pleadings for forgiveness? Well, look elsewhere, because Eliot Spitzer isn't going to give them to you.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
He stretches the saga of Spitzer a bit too thin with a nearly two-hour running time that his story really can't support but this is still a mostly-fascinating film.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It leaves the unmistakable impression that there's more to this iteration of a story that, animated by hubris, lust, self-deception and love of power, is sure to play out again.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A sad, disturbing and in some ways tragic tale that in its lurid combination of sex and politics, banal hypocrisy and bare-knuckles power, seems very much an American story of our times.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Say what you will about Eliot Spitzer, he's a marvelous subject for a documentary, and Alex Gibney has made a film worthy of him...
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Client 9 works like a good detective novel: Colorful and seemingly disparate characters are introduced, and then the strands that tie them together are revealed in a rich, sordid, thrilling tableau.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It takes Gibney almost two hours to build his own argument regarding the airing of Spitzer's laundry, and, having watched it twice, that length is inexplicable.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
It uncovers truths while framing events as a gripping whodunit. Gibney puts mystery back into a story we thought we knew.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
I wonder how Gibney operated the camera while on his back.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The good stuff, as far as Mr. Gibney's movie and Mr. Elkind's book theorize, involves the power brokers who...might have had something to do with his downfall.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
As irresistible as the Ashley and Angelina material may be, that stuff is really the icing on Gibney's cake, which is an elegantly told New York fable about a smart, arrogant guy who made a whole lot of the wrong kinds of enemies.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
The film rescues the story from tabloid hell, and asks for a saner assessment of a deeply flawed man.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Deepens the saga of New York's former governor and attorney general into the paradoxical morality play it really was.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Gibney's assiduous presentation of a payback plot against Spitzer is matched by his diligent investigation into the workings of the Emperors Club VIP.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
It's probably easier for an ex-prosecutor known for macho threats to say he got caught screwing than for him to say he got screwed. But folks, he was reamed.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Relying on a bevy of circumstantial evidence and without proving much in the way of anything, Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer nonetheless homes in on a provocative and highly plausible thesis.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
An utterly fascinating look at many things you didn't know about the Eliot Spitzer scandal.
