The new documentary by Dana Flor and Toby Oppenheimer about D.C.’s own Mayor for Life, The Nine Lives of Marion Barry, premieres on HBO tonight at 9 p.m. DCist caught the film when it debuted at SILVERDOCS earlier this summer, and overall the reviews have been a mixed bag. Critics already familiar with Barry and his lengthy history wanted more, while others were pretty much satisfied. You can be the judge for yourself tonight, if you’ve got access to HBO.
If you miss the film tonight or don’t remember to set your DVR, it will re-run on HBO on Aug. 13 at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., Aug. 16 at 10:30 a.m., Aug. 22 at 3 p.m. and Aug. 31 at 6:10 a.m., and on HBO 2 on Aug. 12 at 8 p.m., Aug. 18 at 5 p.m., Aug. 24 at 2 a.m. and Aug. 29, 7:45 a.m.
