United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It’s something of a love letter, a piece that humanizes a very private celebrity, and reveals the complexity and daring of his art."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"If this jaunty, charming film makes anything clear, it’s that there’s always more to people than you imagine, and usually more to them than you can know."	POS
United States	Joe McGovern Entertainment Weekly	"Neil Berkeley’s remarkable, fascinating, totally unexpected new film takes audiences on one of the strangest journeys of any documentary in recent memory"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A hilarious and surprisingly warm look at the real life behind the abrasive persona (...) A laugh-packed and unexpectedly moving picture"	POS
United States	Jason Zinoman The New York Times	"What distinguishes this documentary is the incongruity between the raucousness of the humor and the quiet, mundane rituals of his domestic life"	POS
United States	April Wolfe Village Voice	"We’re gifted with intimate moments from the comedian’s life (...) Gottfried’s vulnerability and curiosity, it turns out, are endearing."	POS
