Reviews for Overnight
Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith's acidic, vitriolic takedown of Duffy boasts the abrasive intensity of a migraine headache and the depth and scope of a bona fide American tragedy.
05/10/08
Duffy's story is a potentially notable one, but this documentary's amateur production values and the man's grating personality make it not-so-enjoyable watching.
05/10/08
A portrait of Hollywood hubris extraordinaire.
08/16/07
[An] unflinching depiction of a would-be Tarantino turning himself into chopped liver.

Top CriticFor Duffy, watching this film must be like seeing a scab peeled off
12/17/06
Overnight is the story of everything that went wrong in the aftermath of what should have been one of the defining moments of a career.
12/05/06
A compulsive, cautionary tale about a man whose self-trumpeted ‘deep cesspool of creativity’ seems destined to remain undredged.
06/24/06
The "next Quentin Tarantino" crashes and burns
01/10/06
The two directors take so much abuse from Duffy throughout the film that you can’t help but feel that Overnight is their long-overdue revenge.
07/09/05
Enjoyable because you get to see a huge ego and shameless publicist get his comeuppence.
07/08/05
A disturbing, sad and blisteringly funny cautionary tale, I reckon this is the documentary of the year.
07/08/05
...plays out like an 82-minute attack on [Troy Duffy] by a couple of exceedingly bitter ex-colleagues.
07/01/05
funny and mean
07/01/05
Overnight is horrifying and fascinating... It should be required viewing in film schools and a cautionary tale for anyone aspiring to work in Hollywood.
06/28/05
Troy Duffy might have truly deserved the Hollywood Blacklisting, but it's tough to live down an indictment as thorough as Overnight.
06/20/05
Strikingly cautionary for anyone who thinks they're entitled to fame and fortune.
06/14/05
For whatever reasons -- rights issues, personal promises, fear of legal retaliation -- we only catch glimpses of some of the more important moments in this story.
03/05/05
The film’s personal point of view does effectively put you in the shoes of the little guy in the Hollywood machine, sitting by the phone, bewildered.
02/17/05
A quintessential cautionary tale, the documentary Overnight also happens to be funnier than just about every comedy released last year.
