Dying Laughing Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
It's great and it's valuable and it's wonderful, because we love seeing and hearing these all-time greats talk about what they do with such passion and candor.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The movie kicks off poorly, with a battery of familiar conceits from big stars.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Subject after subject - joke-crafting, set-building, room-running, dying on stage, living on the road, etc. - gets treated with bloodless abstraction by people who tell funny, engaging stories about their experiences for a living. Weird.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Once the movie hits its true stride it's really fascinating.
Spectrum Culture
Josh Goller
Dying Laughing's dozens of interviews run the gamut from authenticity to pretense.
The Hollywood Outsider
Aaron Peterson
Dying Laughing masterfully weaves in a humanity to the art of stand-up no film has ever approached in terms of clarity.
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
Dying Laughing cuts through the stage persona and finds the humanity behind the jokes.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Pared down, this overcrowded movie could be a teaching tool in a comedy school. But as one comic after another recalls triumphs, misadventures and painful lessons learned, the stories become redundant.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Even though they all tend to make the same points, the number of comics talked to and their widely diverse personalities and war stories insure that interest never flags.
Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Though the engaging documentary treads through unavoidably familiar territory ... its chorus of testifiers often find sharp new angles of approach. Like the jokes they hone, many of their insights arrive with the impact of well-crafted punchlines.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
Being a good comedian, it would seem, is as much about the ability to fail as it is the ability to succeed. Dying Laughing, in its occasional superficiality, does both. But for fans of the art form, it's worthwhile viewing.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Dying Laughing strikes that delicate balance between being very funny and extraordinarily moving at times.
L.A. Weekly
Chris Packham
The film compiles their anecdotes and observations to create a kind of universal stand-up monomyth that flows seamlessly through chapters.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
Functioning like a metaphorical Freudian couch with intimations of Rupert Pupkin reveries, the film proceeds at a lively pace, soliciting surprisingly damaged soul standup introspective revelations. Along with peculiar interlude moments of found poetry.
