Friends and admirers of iconoclastic film director Sam Fuller read from his memoirs.
Leave your thoughts about A Fuller Life.
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghA loving and illuminating documentary about an American original, Samuel Fuller. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyThe punning title is true; his bracing words narrated by admirers, Fuller’s amazing journey is lovingly honoured. Fuller Life, full of heart. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThere has already been one very good documentary about the maverick American director Sam Fuller... This new film, made by his daughter, Samantha Fuller, covers similar terrain but in a much more personal way. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeBuilt around readings of Fuller's writing by the likes of Mark Hamill, Bill Duke, William Friedkin, and Joe Dante, this documentary from Samantha Fuller tells the story of her father's life in his own words. |
| The ListMatthew TurnerThis entertaining documentary paints a vivid portrait of Fuller's life and career, though the structure of the film means that it's disappointingly light on analysis of his work, particularly in terms of his place in film history. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonWriter, director, reporter, soldier, lover, father and lifelong outsider: the title of this warm doc about the legendary Samuel Fuller pretty much sums it up. |
| GuardianSteve RoseIt adds up to a rich portrait of an extraordinary man, half-tortured artist, half cigar-chomping action hero. |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeA Fuller Life is a cigar-chomping swagger through the life of an independent filmmaker from a time before the term "indie" had entered common parlance. |
| Little White LiesForrest CardamenisA creative and rousing adaptation of Samuel Fuller's superlative autobiography, made by his daughter. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Kathy FennessyIf [Samantha Fuller's] film inspires more people to seek out Fuller's work, however, that will be more than enough. |
