Critic Reviews

  • Phil Hall, Film Threat

    A well-produced tribute to a complex and often exasperating personality.

  • Mark R. Leeper, Mark Leeper's Reviews

    Staccato and compelling, this fast-paced biography recounts some of his views and opinions--writings that alienated people and won supporters.

  • James Plath, Movie Metropolis

    A documentary is only as fascinating as its subject, and, love him or hate him (most did the latter), Norman Mailer was one fascinating American.
