TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The result is fearlessly divisive and will no doubt play according to viewers' preexisting perceptions.

Giuliani Time has an ax to grind and wields it with dull-edged force.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Michael Atkinson
After 9-11, a sick, scandalized lame-duck mayor became a national hero for simply keeping his composure on TV. Keating's film is a comet out of the past, but it's focused, if only circumstantially, on the future.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir
While Keating's agenda is clearly hostile, and Giuliani's political committee is eagerly trying to do counter-propaganda, this isn't a campaign of character assassination or innuendo, but rather a dutifully constructed biographical film about a tremendously skilled prosecutor and politician.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dana Stevens
In general, and in spite of its deft use of archival video clips and interviews, Giuliani Time offers a superficial reading of recent New York history, zeroing in on the headlines while often missing the context.
Read Full Review >Variety Jay Weissberg
Chock-a-block with incisive commentaries both pro and con, pic's sole drawback is its quick finish on that fateful September day without updating Rudy's subsequent rise and fall.
Read Full Review >LA 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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
The documentary Giuliani Time, which seeks to knock our former mayor off his pedestal, hits him with all the force of a wadded-up Kleenex. Those who hope Rudy Giuliani never returns to public life must be getting panicky.
