The GuardianLucy ManganFeb 12, 2020
Untouchable: The Rise and Fall of Harvey Weinstein (BBC Two), directed by Ursula MacFarlane, is a film of halting testimonies, long pauses, lips pressed tightly together and eyes filling with tears. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeFeb 12, 2020
With Weinstein on the ropes, Macfarlane pulls no punches, doing a fair but unflinching job of letting those he once dominated share their narrative. That they do so on camera makes what they have to say that much more impactful, and Macfarlane does their testimony justice, delivering a hard-hitting documentary that speaks truth to power.

The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinFeb 12, 2020
Told with clarity, respect and empathy, and not just for the women on whom Weinstein preyed, Macfarlane's film offers a timely and fascinating overview of his story, one that's almost emblematic of the pathology of serial sexual abusers. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFeb 12, 2020
It’s a Hollywood story of a spectacular rise to the top that was quite apparently a real-life horror story all along. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearFeb 12, 2020
If Untouchable does nothing else, it demonstrates how patterns of intimidation and the power to destroy lives flourish in systems that allow for the turning of blind eyes. It was just the cost of doing business with Harvey, until thankfully, it wasn’t. Read full review

Film ThreatAnthony Ray BenchFeb 12, 2020
Untouchable is a competently made film, there’s nothing mind-blowing about the presentation of it, but the timely subject matter makes the aesthetic weaknesses more forgivable. Read full review

The PlaylistJordan RuimyFeb 12, 2020
Talking head interviews from his victims, business and works partners, and friends mesh together with archival photos, videos, and audio recordings of Weinstein for a compulsively watchable, yet not definitive, look at the man whose predatory behavior spearheaded the #MeToo movement.

SlashfilmBen PearsonFeb 12, 2020
The film reiterates every detail you already know from the key reports that have been published about him, but the true power of this movie (and for me, the only reason it should exist at all) comes in its interviews with Weinstein’s victims, and the stories from these women are just as heart-rending and disturbing as you probably imagine.

There is precious little here that hasn’t already been more cogently unpacked somewhere else. Read full review
