Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    Half home movie, half product placement, and almost completely worthless.

  • Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

    This narcissistic mockumentary is less a film than a full-length promotional video for Roc-a-Fella Records mogul/director Damon Dash.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    A mockumentary that veers unsteadily between satire and an infomercial for Dash's Roc-A-Fella records.

  • Anita Gates, New York Times

    Watching Damon Dash's playful movie is like entering a room where a large, too noisy party is going on and never fully adjusting to the dark or the din.

  • Richard Harrington, Washington Post

    Death of a Dynasty is, like the music it parodies: aggressive, over-the-top, louder than life and in your face.
