- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Permanent Midnight' is as enveloping as it is darkly cautionary, thanks to the effectively varied layers of Mr. Veloz's direction and the bitter intensity Mr. Stiller brings to his central role."
-
"The movie, lacking snap and sarcasm, fails to convey the book's tone"
-
"'Permanent Midnight' fails to deliver a true story of redemption, of someone who has come through the dark side and conquered his demons."
-
"Despite its subject matter and some humorous moments, the film lacks any real verve and punch, and brings little new to the table in the already tired new genre of junkie confession"
