Mario (2026) Tribeca 2026


This is a portrait of former New York Govenor Mario Cuomo.

This is a good if by the numbers look at the man who challanged the rise of the Republican right in the 1980's and went on to run New York State for several terms. Its also a good reminder that Cuomo did a lot of good despite giving us two sons who tarnished the family name.

I really liked this film a great deal. It was a nice trip back to when politicians were more civil and actually wanted to make a difference and not just line their pockets. I always liked Cuomo and it was nice to revisit his trimuphs.

Beyond that there isn't much to say. The film does exactly what it sets out to do with out reinventing the wheel.

Definitely worth a look if it interests you. I full expect this to be picked up and run on PBS down the road.
