Where's My Roy Cohn?

"The film suffers to some extent from having such an unsympathetic subject – and the attempts to humanise him only serve to make his actual behaviour seem venaler. It is, however, timely enough, and fascinating in a reptilian kind of way."

"We gloss and glide, forming an overall impression of Cohn's dark soul along many fronts. I'm not saying that any of it is untrue; I am saying a character assassination of a dead man ought to have higher standards."

"A diabolical public figure mesmerises from the grave."

"Where's My Roy Cohn? concludes as a deservedly harsh examination of an infamous figure but its existence is nothing more than a checklist of Cohn's greatest hits."

"A biographical portrait that doubles as an origin story for today's amoral political landscape, its marriage of incisiveness and timeliness should make it an indie hit this fall."

"There is no doubt that he was a fascinating and important character, but "Where's My Roy Cohn?" is most interesting for the questions it doesn't explicitly ask."

"It offers a blunt, ruthless evisceration - which is to say, a clear-eyed assessment - of the brilliant legal mind who helped send the Rosenbergs to the electric chair and made his reputation as Joseph McCarthy's attack dog."

"When you consider the sheer improbable scale of Roy Cohn’s nefarious activities – and his connections and ongoing legacy – the phrase “You couldn’t make it up” springs to mind. That’s rather ironic, admittedly, when we’re talking about a professional liar, but this excellent doco will leave you feeling that way just the same."
