Watch Koch Movie Online Streaming Megavideo

Watch Koch Movie Online Streaming Without Downloading Former Mayor Ed Koch is the quintessential New Yorker. Still ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt, the now 87-year-old Koch ruled New York from 1978 to 1989-a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime. First-time filmmaker (and former Wall Street Journal reporter) Neil Barsky has crafted an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform. The tumult of his three terms included a fiercely competitive 1977 election; an infamous 1980 transit strike; the burgeoning AIDS epidemic; landmark housing renewal initiatives; and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Through candid interviews and rare archival footage, Koch thrillingly chronicles the personal and political toll of running the world's most wondrous city in a time of upheaval and reinvention.

Review For Koch
I wish other questions had been asked, and pushed, and a lot more context provided. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Koch presents an uncommonly juicy subject for a documentary, and filmmaker Neil Barsky makes the most of the opportunity. Lou Lumenick-New York Post If the film were even two minutes longer, it might constitute Koch overload. Luckily, Barsky knows when enough is enough, even if his subject doesn't. Stephanie Zacharek-NPR It's hard to fault a documentary for being as slanted toward a subject as director Neil Barsky's "Koch" is when the movie chronicles as self-celebratory a figure as former Mayor Ed Koch. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News New York may be a safer, cleaner and less argumentative place than it was in the 1980s, but he remains as contentious, as mischievous and at times as inflammatory as ever. A.O. Scott-New York Times If unlikely to change anyone's mind about its subject, it's an effective primer on a voluble and charismatic mayor who embodied the spirit of the city he loved. Nick Schager-Village Voice Even if he stomped on your special interest you can't deny that he did it with a sui generis verve that mixed region-specific curmudgeon-ism and impish joie de vivre Jordan Hoffman-Badass Digest A thoughtful look at the fundamental reasons a down-and-out city was primed to embrace this larger-than-life cheerleader for all things Gotham. Robert Levin-amNewYork An enjoyable but not very revelatory tribute that has also become a visual obituary. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com Koch doesn't try to do anything radical as a piece of filmmaking, but Barsky -- a former newspaper reporter -- covers Koch's story magnificently as a journalist. Noel Murray-AV Club With great good humor... and a solid, old-fashioned stick-to-it-iveness, Barsky paints a warts-and-all portrait of Koch that is historically compelling, journalistically rigorous, and bursting with Essence of Koch... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher Neil Barsky is aware of how a great and terribly troubling person can reside in the same body, but his occasional eagerness to appoint himself as his subject's latest press agent is dubious. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine A breezy, thoroughly entertaining and balanced doc that sheds light on Ed Koch's panache, wisdom and sense of humor behind the curtain of politics. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru Neither blind idolatry nor a definitive portrait; just a major missed opportunity content to loiter in the middle of the road. David Fear-Time Out New York A great look at the history of [New York City] and a pivotal turning point when things changed so drastically. Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net A warts-and-all observation of the rise and fall of one of New York City's most controversial Mayors, Neil Barsky's well-paced documentary fills a necessary gap. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com While the structure and style of the film are not particularly inventive, the film is a good background on the issues. Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews
