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.
