Buddy

About This Movie

So, Buddy is this deep dive into the chaotic world of Vincent A. Cianci, the former Mayor of Providence. It’s not just a typical documentary; it really captures the wild ups and downs of his career. You get the sense of a man who was both larger than life and deeply flawed—battling city council, unions, and his own demons. The pacing is pretty raw, reflecting the turbulent nature of his tenure. It’s got this gritty feel, almost like you’re peeling back layers of a very complicated character. The film doesn’t shy away from his scandals either, making it a real study in contradictions and ambition. The interviews and archival footage create this palpable atmosphere of political intrigue and human fallibility.
