Leave your thoughts about The Blech Effect.
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievThe filmmaker casts an unflinching eye at his broken-down subject baring his soul, atoning for his sins, and lamenting the past. There’s no way back for him. This is a trip down a rabbit hole that’s as devastating as it is transfixing. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerWhat fascinates Greenwald (who must have slept on Belch's couch to get this kind of informal access) is his subject's utter lack of self-control. Diagnosed with manic depression and gambling addiction, his successes seem designed to take him to ever greater heights, just so he can fall even further when his depression hits. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreBlech’s is almost the only voice heard in the movie, and after a while, he’s all too easy to tune out. |
