All Critics (52) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (45) | Rotten (7)

The rise and fall of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been given a lot of coverage, but this thoughtful, probing and revealing feature-length documentary directed by Ursula Macfarlane adds a constructive perspective to the allegations about him.

The Age (Australia)
Almost every woman watching will understand. Some men will, too. If these films add to their number, maybe we can begin to change the world.

Lucy Mangan
Guardian
"Untouchable" features some less-than-effective filmmaking decisions, from an over-the-top ominous score to an overabundance of driving-through-the-city segues to some murky shots of hotel corridors.

Richard Roeper
Chicago Sun-Times
Where Untouchable excels... is in capturing the complexities surrounding sexual assault.

Olivia Petter
Independent (UK)
Listening to these women specifically say what Harvey [Weinstein] did to them made me deeply uncomfortable.

Tim Cogshell
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
A clarifying documentary like Untouchable is in order, because the cascade of allegations and headlines that have spilled forth since late 2017 has resulted in a mass forgetting of how this all started.

It's the heartfelt, detailed and damning testimony from former colleagues, aspiring film industry workers and investigating journalists that really stays with you.

Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg and Untouchable reminds us that there are plenty of Harvey Weinsteins out there in various industries using their power and privilege to intimidate and silence victims of sexual assault.

Matthew St. Clair
Cinema Sentries
A sharp look at a monster who had access to the most beautiful women in the world and took advantage of his position time and again to control them.

Erin Maxwell
L.A. Weekly
Untouchable manages the feat of documenting a story about Weinstein without telling only his story.

Poulomi Das
Silverscreen India
Valuable as it is to hear from the victims, I welcome more understanding of the social and psychological factors in our culture that have allowed men to behave badly, some very badly, for far too long.

Cecilia Ford
Women's Voices for Change
A documentary that, in its best moments, simply lingers on the survivors and sexual abuse and misconduct, leaving in the deafening silent moments that come all too frequently...
