Top CriticBoth touching and amusing, these four embody the spirit of Hollywood, “a place where dreams are made and dreams are broken.”

A mesmerizing, revealing look at Hollywood's bottom layer, as well as an assertive snapshot of desperation...one of the best documentaries I've seen this year.

In Hollywood, accommodating expectations%u2014looking the part%u2014is a first step. Toward what? That's a question the provocative, respectful, and enthralling Confessions leaves open.

Confessions doesn’t condescend or mock its subjects because they’re such natural entertainers that no audience pandering is necessary.

A detailed portrait of these societal eccentrics, which, while not neglecting their obvious personal problems, is clearly sympathetic.

Fun to watch primarily because, when not waiting tables, auditioning or appearing in a movie's mob scene, these actors actually spend most of their time in superhero costumes, not on stage, but on the street.

The empathetic tone draws you in and some of the details are devastating.

Ogens ventures beyond sideshow condescension, striking a tone that ought to entice specialty auds.

...what could have been a condescending descent into bottom-feeding turns into a loving, often heartbreaking portrait of decent people trying to scrape by.
