Giuliani Time Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
While Giuliani Time offers a wealth of important information that many might have long forgotten, its impact is diluted by its heavily biased nature and lack of balance.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
With the former mayor currently enjoying one of the rare second acts in American political life, Giuliani Time does a strong job of reminding us what the first one was like.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
Keating may [be] too intent on touching on every aspect of the mayor's vicious careerism; at two hours, the film might have benefited from some pruning....But the film is never dull...
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Giuliani Time energetically deflates one trumpeted myth after another about Giuliani's success at turning the city around from its doldrums in the 1970s.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Plays more like a rant, and a poorly focused one at that.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
The first chip has been knocked off the shoulder in the 2008 presidential horse race.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
It is impossible to downplay the man's role in events following the September 11 attack...But, his track record prior to that terrible event cannot be ignored.
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
Giuliani Time ultimately includes much useful information ... [but] anybody who reads The Village Voice will find nothing here to surprise them.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The trouble with Giuliani Time is that Keating, as a filmmaker, wants to give power to the people but in his every perception he takes it away from them.
Washington Post
Michael Powell
I wanted more of those press conferences where he lashed at 'actually really jerky' questions before turning on his heel and exiting stage right. When Giuliani Time gives us a taste of this Rudy, it's mesmerizing.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
While Keating's motives may have the public interest at heart, his methods undercut his message.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Keating, who learned his craft shooting for respected documentarians like Barbara Kopple and the Maysles brothers, takes his stand early, makes his points bluntly and backs them up solidly with archival footage and expert testimony.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The film slogs through the history of the Giuliani controversies without telling us anything we didn't already know. It also frequently contradicts itself.
Boxoffice Magazine
Jordan Reed
Keating, who has shot for the Maysles brothers and Barbara Kopple, amasses an impressive amount of evidence to bolster his claims, allowing the relative dryness of his style to be overshadowed by the revelatory nature of his research.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The film, while hardly unbiased, is not entirely one-sided.
Slate
Stephen Metcalf
So successful -- the archive being so generous, after all -- at painting Giuliani as an unlikable bully that by the end of the film you're left wondering, Why even bother?
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Keating's film brings back, to queasy-making effect, the state of New York City's body politic under Rudolph Giuliani's mayoral tenure.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Keating's film is a comet out of the past, but it's focused, if only circumstantially, on the future.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Keating wants to bust apart the myth of Giuliani's sanctification after 9/11, but with the film set to open only in New York, what he's really doing is preaching to the choir.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
Keating strips away the self-aggrandizement and analyzes the record.
