Movie Reviews

Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Chris VognarFellini came close to painting his thoughts directly onto the screen. Born Liar honors this approach by putting lyricism ahead of clarity. You get the feeling that the maestro would appreciate the results.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonIts fascination may be limited to those already very familiar with his works and collaborators - and his sensual, highly subjective style.
The New Republic - 9/10 by Stanley KauffmannIt is Fellini's face that is peculiarly welcome, the face that -- in a probably fantasizing but pertinent way -- endorses his films.
The New Yorker - 9/10 by David DenbyBoth completely fascinating and intermittently frustrating; however, as with Fellini's own films, the downside is far outweighed by the pluses.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanIt's a messy, entertaining documentary rooted in -- though not limited to -- the iconically indulgent years of Fellini's later career.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoThe newly found footage of Fellini and actor Marcello Mastroianni on the set of "La Dolce Vita" made me want to run out and see that wonderful film yet again.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonAnd if the movie's not particularly visual -- apart from the excerpted scenes from Fellini's extremely visual films -- it's entertaining for the ears. Fellini talks and talks. And like many directors, he talks a good life.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisOnly loosely concerned with behind-the-scenes gossip and is squarely focused on the nature of Fellini's insatiability.
Boston Herald - 8/10 by James VerniereA strange beast, but one lifelong Fellini fans will find irresistible.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Dana StevensMr. Pettigrew's affection for Fellini and his films animates this documentary and limits its appeal.
