“An almost affectionate, only-in-America approach to the activist-turned-mayor-turned-punchline, who is living proof that absolute power corrupts absolutely. A de rigueur disc purchase for political junkies and anyone who followed Barry’s very public downfall.” -Variety
"A" - Entertainment Weekly
“All the fascination, incredulity and dismay that can be squeezed into 80 minutes” - Newsday
“Marion Barry saga told by crack team of pros." - New York Daily News
