	Author	Review
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A formidable talker who is invariably smart, candid and acerbic, De Palma is a person of considerable self-confidence, and listening to him hold forth gives us an always-involving glimpse inside a singular cinematic mind"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"More rewarding for neophytes and casual fans (...) Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow's doc is nevertheless essential viewing for everyone"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide The Guardian	"De Palma’s work is explored in his own words, and his words only, uncluttered by talking heads and critical evaluations. And frankly, De Palma is such an entertaining and open raconteur (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[Baumbach and Paltrow] just put the man himself on camera, mic him up and let him rip. The result is heaven for movie lovers (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang The Playlist	"An exhilarating blast of cinephile cocaine (...) It’s just a delight to spend this time in De Palma’s company"	POS
