Critic Reviews
-
Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times
It's clear from Polanski's cramped frames that [director] Chapa knows as little about filmmaking as he does his subject.
-
Todd McCarthy, Variety
This Friday the 13th Los Angeles vanity release isn't even fun in a bad-movie way.
-
Peter Sobczynski, eFilmCritic.com
To describe the film as this generation's "Wired" hardly begins to scratch the surface. This is a movie so bad that the people who actually made "Wired" can actually look down upon it without coming across as hypocritical.
-
John P. McCarthy, Boxoffice Magazine
Ambitious in an obsessive, stalkerish sort of way, Damian Chapaâ(TM)s low-budget biopic of Roman Polanski is avowedly empathetic and thus not a complete hatchet job.
-
Brent Simon, Shared Darkness
A jumbled, whorish, opportunistic hot mess, multi-hyphenate Chapa's film is a fantastically terrible biopic, poorly told and riddled with repeated, confounding lapses in logic.
