An intriguing, bizarre and challenging film that invites us into a world filled with larger-than-life characters and strange occurrences. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
Fact and possible fiction amble to a photo finish as one of pop culture’s nuttiest milestones. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
Clooney wanted Kaufman's script delivered without corruption or softening. He has overcorrected and made a glum, almost listless movie. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
Directing a movie is no picnic, but I'll be damned if Mr. Clooney doesn't make it seem like fun. Full Review |
||
|
|
Brimming with slightly self-conscious directorial panache, the movie zips between nearly three decades, fantasy and reality without ever really deciding how seriously it wants to take itself. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The ingredients were there for Confessions of a Dangerous Mind to become a cult classic, but the resulting film is a tedious Hollywood yawner. Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
A terrific actor, a handsome movie star and now an accomplished director--damn you, Mr. Clooney, for making it that much more unfair for the average joe likes of myself. Full Review |

Clooney directs it! How could it be any good? Full Review |

3/4 |
Noir fantasy with the pop funkiness of '70s game shows Full Review |

|
|
Un prodigio narrativo muy diferente a todo lo que suele producir Hollywood, pero no por capricho de un director sino al servicio de una historia y de un punto de vista. Full Review |
||
|
|
Bounces around like the smarter and weirder older brother of Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. Full Review |
||
|
4/4 |
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is freakin' brilliant. Sam Rockwell gives a whack-you-upside-the-head dose of his talent! Full Review |
||
|
5/10 |
...a one-note character study about an unhappy, insecure, delusional paranoiac, whose assassin gimmick wears thin almost before it gets started. Full Review |
||
|
|
Because of movies like this, nostalgia just ain't what it used to be. Full Review |
||
|
|
Directing for the first time, Clooney turns out to be a natural when it comes to parody... Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Clooney has made a stylish debut, wisely making his movie resemble the wacky game shows Barris dreamt up. Full Review |

Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind is the latest, and most promising evolution of Clooney’s career. . . Full Review |

4/5 |
Os universos de Chuck Barris e Charlie Kaufman são complementares. E igualmente fascinantes. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind may not be in the Citizen Kane class, but George Clooney's first foray behind the camera does boast similarly bravura technique and an infectious sense of joy in the filmmaking process. Full Review |
