Framing John DeLorean Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Like DeLorean, this documentary admirably is not afraid to take risks.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
An uneven blend of fact and fiction.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
...why not make a borderline bat-bleep crazy docu-something of a film chronicling the whole thing?
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
It is true that no movie can tell the full story of a man's life. But movies like this one can tell us something important about our own.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's both inspiring and a cautionary tale, filled with drama, intrigue, hubris, comedy and tragedy. It's an American story, and a wild one at that.

Robert Daniels
The tremendous and jaw-dropping twists Framing John DeLorean takes will never cease to amaze.
Slant Magazine
Oleg Ivanov
John DeLorean has a biography that could have been reverse engineered from a Hollywood epic about the rise and fall of an auto-industry mogul.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Dramatic reenactments in documentaries are rarely that effective. And the ambitious, starry level to which they're taken in the otherwise involving biodoc "Framing John DeLorean" only underscores how distracting and unconvincing they can be.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
A smart, hook-filled blend of documentary and fictionalized re-enactments...
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Though Framing offers a more comprehensive look at a flamboyant subject's life, it doesn't entirely do justice to the tale, and the meta-movie nature of its dramatized scenes does little to help.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
Most compelling of all are the interviews with the two people who come closest to answering, or at least addressing, the question that overwhelms this entire project: DeLorean's daughter Kathryn and son Zach.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
A tasty and satisfying look at the rise and fall of the self-styled auto magnate of the '70s and '80s...
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
I could have done with re-enactments featuring Alec Baldwin as John DeLorean, but overall Framing John DeLorean proves an intriguing look at an engineering genius turned entrepreneur, criminal and finally born-again Christian.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
A bizarre cocktail of perspectives and realities, but not an unappealing endeavor, with the helmers using such unconventional storytelling to showcase an unconventional man
jackiekcooper.com
Jackie K. Cooper
Everything about this documentary/scripted movie/ behind the scenes story says it shouldn't work, but it does. Mainly this is because John DeLorean's life was American innovator mixed with Greek tragedy.
Sarah's Backstage Pass
Sarah Knight Adamson
An excellent film that leaves no stone uncovered in its pursuit of peeling back the layers of a genius who turned corrupt.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Framing John DeLorean tries to make the point that DeLorean's life story has the potential to be Hollywood biopic.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
There's quite a lot of substance to accompany the flash, and one emerges from the film's 109 minutes well informed and highly entertained.
Jaredmobarak.com
Jared Mobarak
It's history lesson, editorial, and crime drama all rolled into one. And for the most part it works.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[T]he filmmakers make the weird and distracting decision to transform their non-fiction account into a sales pitch for ... a "real" movie about the man.
