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.

Some Trailer For Koch
New Review For Movie Koch
He was certainly combative, and confident, and full of love for the city he governed with such gusto. Koch is a New York story for the whole world to appreciate.Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
What he really was was one of a kind. Whether intentionally or not, "Koch" shows that that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Mark Feeney-Boston Globe
An emphasis on Koch the character obscures his administration.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
Though the film, more than two years in the making, was never intended as such, it plays like the kind of eulogy Koch would have approved - neither fawning nor eviscerating but always compelling.
Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times
The film advances no theories to explain his contradictions, only a thrilling, sometimes affecting account of what he did.
Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
"How'm I doin'?" Koch famously asked anyone and everyone he passed by, rarely hanging around for the answer. In "Koch," for the most part, he does all right.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
An engaging if incomplete portrait of an unconventional politician.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion
Forget "A Tale of Two Cities:" - the documentary "Koch" is a tale of two mayors. At LEAST two.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
The film neither glorifies nor vilifies. Instead, it treats triumphs and controversies with equal balance.
Jamie S. Rich-Oregonian
A fascinating, multi-faceted look at a very complicated man, a quintessential New Yorker who was both an uncommonly skilled politician and, at times, a tremendous jerk.
Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell
The gift of Koch is that it embraces the clutter and volume of opinion about the man.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
Captures the man, burnishes the myth and remembers the "mouth."
Roger Moore-Movie Nation
First-time filmmaker Neil Barsky does a generally remarkable job shuttling back and forth between clips from archival footage...and an intimate 2010 interview he conducted of Koch.
Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest
Neil Barsky's contentious documentary turns into a celebratory eulogy for the outspoken, opportunistic octogenarian.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
Barsky gained Koch's cooperation on the film -- the filmmaker interviewed his subject extensively -- yet his portrait of the man shows both his good and bad sides.
Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine
The former mayor is an alert onscreen presence, but the film surrounding him is not always so lively.
Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle
The rise and fall from grace of a good Jewish boy gone bad who ostensibly sold out the Big Apple but never summoned up the courage to come out of the closet.
