| Film School RejectsSimon GallagherSycophancy is an ugly thing at the best of times, and when the subject is shouldering the story-telling burden without it, it's even worse. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanA fine example of how sympathetic interviewing techniques can result in a probing interview that carries insights and emotion |
| The PlaylistChristopher SchobertRoman Polanski: A Film Memoir is a rare opportunity to hear a master filmmaker speak about his life. Both his haters and fans will agree, it is a highly watchable documentary. But don't expect either group to feel they have heard the whole story. |
| 3AWJim SchembriPolanski sure knows how to spin a yarn, whether it's with words or film. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Travis JohnsonAn intimate and compelling, albeit sympathetic, portrait of this filmmaking legend, whose often tragedy tinged real life story eclipses his extraordinary onscreen work. |
| Empire Magazine AustralasiaDavid Michael BrownA fascinating, if workmanlike, insight into the life of a legend. |
| Concrete PlaygroundLauren Carroll HarrisThere's no doubt Polanski is a major artist, and his fans will probably get a lot out of his recollections, but don't expect any rigorous attention to the ethics of documentary-making. This is a personal exercise in public atonement. |
| User ReviewWS WDoc is all about taking side, don't even fantasize or believe it is absolutely fair & justifiable. That said, this one still does help a lot understanding the story of Roman Polanski -- in his words. |
| User ReviewSimon TStraightforward conversation between Polanski and his longtime friend and colleague Andrew Braunsberg, filmed while Polanski was under house arrest in Switzerland. There's little that is revelatory, but it goes a long way to humanise and explain the man. |
