De Palma Ratings & Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's this frankness, free of artifice, devoid of a censor, that makes this documentary what it is.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Paltrow and Baumbach simply walk De Palma through his filmography and collect his best stories. But this systematic approach has a nice leveling effect in that his more obscure, offbeat projects get as much attention as his signature films.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Since so many of De Palma's films have become part and parcel with the American cultural consciousness of the last 50 years, I can't imagine this filmmaker's insights not providing every viewer with some memorable takeaways.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Goodykoontz
De Palma is a deceptively simple documentary film: Director Brian De Palma sits in front of a fireplace for nearly two hours and talks about his life and career. If you love movies, it's time well spent.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Immersive and illuminating ...
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"De Palma" is a cinematic sampler that makes you want to gorge on the whole unholy buffet.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
De Palma enthusiasts will benefit the most here (small surprise), but there's good material for anyone interested in how their cinematic sausage gets made.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
An engaging if superficial sit, not just for his fans but also for anyone who seeks to understand cinematic grammar and the often un-pretty process of how movies get made.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"De Palma" deftly covers the full gamut of the man's films, from the early Robert De Niro collaboration "The Wedding Party" (shot in 1963) through commercial breakthroughs in the 1970s and then several more career ups and downs afterward.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
If you love movies, it's time well spent.
TIME Magazine
John Anderson
He's allowed to ruminate, largely, and what's revealed is an artist impulsively self-reflective, whatever side of the camera he's on.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
None of this will win over the De Palma haters, but they are clearly outside the intended audience here.
Vox
Emily St. James
The documentary's commitment to being thorough is admirable. But that urge to be comprehensive is also how De Palma shoots itself in the foot.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Alluringly smooth and uncluttered, as if taking its cue from one of the tracking shots so beloved by its subject.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
While his filmmaking pals have all at one time or another been household names, De Palma's never quite gotten the close-up he's deserved. Until now.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
More than just a big-screen fetish object for Brian De Palma's still-loyal cult, "De Palma" is one of the essential documentaries on Hollywood.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"De Palma's" biggest asset, not surprisingly, is the man himself.
NPR
Chris Klimek
De Palma walked away from Hollywood 15 years ago. He has nothing to lose by telling these stories now. They make De Palma brisk and engaging ...
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
De Palma has the best kind of ending for a director documentary: it leaves us wondering what's yet to come from this protean and multifaceted filmmaker.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Mr. De Palma is remarkable company - witty, insightful and neither unduly modest nor overbearingly vain.
