United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"An enthrallingly intimate look at the brilliant, troubled and always charismatic screen legend"	POS

United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"The definitive portrait of a man still frequently cited as the world's greatest actor. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Joe McGovern Entertainment Weekly	"A wondrously sly, moving, odd portrait-perfectly befitting its subject."	POS
