Plays more like a rant, and a poorly focused one at that.

Reviews for Giuliani Time
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.

A delightfully biased view of former New York Mayor Giuliani's administration.
05/12/06
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.
05/26/06
Top CriticDamning documentary indicts the ex-mayor as deserving to be remembered not for the clean-up of the Twin Towers, but for his utter lack of compassion for the impoverished and working classes.
03/13/07
Giuliani Time ultimately includes much useful information ... [but] anybody who reads The Village Voice will find nothing here to surprise them.
05/30/06
A chilling record of a politician whose modus operandi includes incessant lying, taking credit for other peoples' achievements, blatant racism and imperious governing.
04/25/07
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.
06/20/06
Giuliani Time energetically deflates one trumpeted myth after another about Giuliani’s success at turning the city around from its doldrums in the 1970s.
06/15/06
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...
06/16/06
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.
06/16/06
Top CriticThe first chip has been knocked off the shoulder in the 2008 presidential horse race.
06/06/06
The film slogs through the history of the Giuliani controversies without telling us anything we didn't already know. It also frequently contradicts itself.
05/12/06
Top CriticThe film, while hardly unbiased, is not entirely one-sided.
05/11/06
Top CriticTo his credit and his film's benefit -- Keating also interviews Giuliani's friends and supporters, who praise his accomplishments (while acknowledging his occasional abrasiveness).
05/12/06
Top CriticKeating's film brings back, to queasy-making effect, the state of New York City's body politic under Rudolph Giuliani's mayoral tenure.
05/11/06
Top CriticStunning indictment of racist, authoritarian and plutocratic mayor.
05/11/06
While Keating's motives may have the public interest at heart, his methods undercut his message.
05/22/06
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.
