Leave your thoughts about Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie.
| VarietyScott FoundasAn entertaining, affectionate documentary created by three self-professed fanboys, which proves as nostalgic for the host himself as for a bygone broadcast era, before the reality-TV explosion allowed the inmates to fully take over the asylum. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinDowney found a way to channel his working-class audience’s anger against liberal shibboleths and not incidentally take down both his dad and his surrogate dad — Teddy Kennedy. It’s a riveting Oedipal tragedy. |
| Uncle BarkyEd BarkThere's no revisionist lionizing here, but plenty of perspective. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThis sharp documentary tribute to Downey's bug-eyed, fulminating charisma - he was like a Nixon who'd let out his id - reveals the demons that drove him to fame, then dragged him down. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIs it flattering? No. Would he object? Not if it got him a little more ink. Because baby, it's all show biz. |
| MetroMatt PriggeWithout taking his side, "Evocateur" makes us feel genuinely terrible for him. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis documentary probably raises more questions than it answers, but it does give a fair portrait of a very interesting character. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe portrait of the controversial media figure, a love him or hate him type, is good enough to give us a somewhat fair portrait, considering the three directors were once fanboys. |
| EntertainmentTellBill GibronEvocateur is an excellent effort that tries to make sense of a complicated person. It's both highly complimentary and critical, the kind of balanced overview Downey rarely gave those who came under this show business spell. |
| New York PostKyle SmithThis material cries out for big-budget treatment by a real master like Paul Thomas Anderson or Martin Scorsese. |
