Miniseries Ratings & Reviews
The Screen
Akos Peterbencze
Alex Gibney captures the bond between the cast flawlessly but doesn't shy away from asking the uncomfortable questions that shine a light on the difficult times that came with making a hit like The Sopranos.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
What sounds like the kind of inessential featurette you'd find on a Blu-ray is actually an insightful two-part history of a TV classic, grounded by a candid conversation...
Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)
Chuck Bowen
"Wise Guy" gives you all the production gossip that you can hope for from a behind-the-scenes feature, and imbues it with a sense of Pyrrhic victory and tragedy.
Decider
Joel Keller
Wise Guy: David Chase And The Sopranos provides a lot of insight into what made Chase tick and what went into the creation of the landmark series.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
It's the type of examination that reminds the audience of why the show was great by playing with its pop culture psychoanalytical themes and delivering the rosy remembrances fans want.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Analysis of the show, by Chase and others, is thorough, sometimes surprising...
In Review Online
Jake Tropila
Wise Guy might not make for the most illuminating of watches... but for anyone itching to dip their toes back into the murky waters of America's favorite crime family, there are plenty of delights to be found.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
No documentary, even at close to three hours, can capture everything. But Wise Guy is a strong celebration of the series, and a fascinating psychoanalysis of the man who dreamed it up.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
It broke every rule in the TV books with plenty of nudity language, and vicious, horrific acts. A thoroughly enjoyable and eye-opening doc focused on Chase, his "dour" personality and his insistence on going where no one had gone before on TV.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Like so many monuments of pop culture, that's the story of "The Sopranos" - small things that broke just right, creating a masterpiece. "Wise Guy" shows us how.
Collider
Shawn Van Horn
If you're a fan of The Sopranos, from its unpredictable beginning until that frustrating end, Wise Guys is a must-watch that will make you want to revisit Tony and his gang all over again.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos isn't a be-all and end-all documentary, but it's still an essential glimpse into an essential show through the eyes of its essential creative force.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
What Mr. Gibney shows us of the audition process for the pilot is oddly, almost morbidly fascinating, insinuating that the final casting was perfect and any alterations would have changed it to the point of mutilation.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The viewer experience is all the more enriched because the two-part HBO documentary IS about Chase.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Filled with dozens of original interviews, clips, and the myriad (also fun) details that went into the making of a TV classic, this is also probably the most complete film they're ever likely to get on the subject, too.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
Overflowing with insight; stuffed with revelatory interviews and anecdotes and archival footage; as bursting with flavor as a baked ziti; and as immersive, in its way, as the show itself.
The Cinematic Reel
David Gonzalez
Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos never loses focus on its goal: providing THE in-depth celebration of television's most groundbreaking series.
