	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"An absorbing documentary (...) adds new insight to the inspiring and scandalous saga of John DeLorean"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Though [it] offers a more comprehensive look at a flamboyant subject's life, it doesn't entirely do justice to the tale, and the meta-movie nature of its dramatized scenes does little to help."	NEU
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman The Wrap	"Alec Baldwin’s re-enactments don’t work at all, but the film achieves truthfulness when it sticks to traditional documentary"	NEU
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"'Framing John De Lorean' has a trove of archive footage (...) The film is hugely impressive in the scope of those interviewed."	POS
United States	John Fink The Film Stage	"An entertaining and occasionally fascinating take on a playboy turned family man (...) At times the film feels a little like a very long DVD extra for a narrative film"	NEU
United States	Scott Hines Decider	"A wildly entertaining documentary/feature hybrid (...) The true story is allowed to shine through, the fact stranger than fiction."	POS
