Movie Reviews

AV Club - 9/10 by Nathan RabinDamn! would be a more insightful condemnation of the exploitation process if it didn't reek so strongly of exploitation itself.
New York Times - 8/10 by Neil GenzlingerMr. Fisher-Cohen captures Mr. McMillan's transformation from a guy with a funny look and line into someone who believes his own hype and misconstrues his Warholian 15 minutes for widespread popularity and influence. It's a dismaying portrait and, here in the YouTube age, a direct hit.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by David NohOne more viral Internet sensation-read: basic fool-given the documentary spotlight by a subject-starved
Time Out - 6/10 by S. James SnyderDamn! clearly knows a thing or two about fameballs, but it leaves the rest of the heavy lifting to the viewer.
New York Daily News - 3/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThe movie is padded with repetitive media appearances, fan videos, and the ramblings of a subject who may not have a firm grasp on reality.
Variety - 3/10 by Rob NelsonEven at 73 minutes, the film is, well, too damn long.
Village Voice - 3/10 by Mark HolcombThe director ultimately treads too fine a line between exposé and cash-in, in part because he belabors his thesis. Sure, McMillan is at least half charlatan, but 20 minutes into Damn! it's clear that he's also a sad, possibly disturbed man who needs a compassionate caseworker more than the attention of a fickle public or ambitious documentarian.
User Review - 8/10 by Ron CDamn! is a documentary and portrait of a very thoughtful and creative man who has the enthusiasm of a champion. A karate champion. Jimmy McMillan of The Rent Is Too Damn High! party is a one-man platform running off the rails of pop culture into the race to become Governor of NYC. Kudos to the group who were able to put this documentary together in a cohesive manner. Just like Obama and Palin have used pop culture to bump up their campaigns, Jimmy had his own message to share with the World as well and it was a fairly simple one, "The Rent Is Too Damn High!". The movie focuses on the days before and after the election--from the rise and the fall, to the obscure and forgotten; you can't help but laugh, get crazy with Jimmy-fever, and then feel sad about his anti-climactic loss and trip into wild obscurity. It's becomes uncomfortable as Jimmy becomes but a blip on New York and society's pop-culture radar merely days after his loss. It becomes uncomfortable when you realize that Jimmy wants the shine on the polish to last forever: you look into his mirror and you feel his icon fever. For Jimmy; this is all just the beginning.
