| Film ScoutsJason GorberThis is a competent, if un-slick, look at the fabled production woes brought about by the creative genius/psychopathic and obsessed director Cimino. |
| New York PostLou LumenickTruth is, this story of the out-of-control director and his inexperienced, enabling studio heads -- who allowed Cimino to lock them out of the editing room, hoping he would deliver another Oscar winner like "The Deer Hunter" -- is more compelling than Cimino's long-winded epic. |
| The New York TimesAnita GatesA documentary 10 times as engrossing as the film that is its subject. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonUnmistakably sympathetic but mostly even-handed documentary. |
| User ReviewIan GInteresting exploration into the debacle that was HEAVEN'S GATE. |
