While solidly cast and competently helmed, A Million Little Pieces amounts to little more than a well-intentioned but unpersuasive echo of a deeply problematic memoir.

A petulant, boastful, and not very noteworthy variation of a story that plenty of films, documentary and fiction, have told before, but with more insight or panache. December 6, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

An underwhelming addiction story that feels not just familiar, but more focused on the bad-boy swagger of its main character than his actual recovery. December 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Making a recovery movie is like making a boxing movie: The formula is so well established that the most viewers can hope for is a slight variation on a familiar theme. December 4, 2019 | Full Review…

I'm glad a film like A Million Little Pieces exists because it's a reminder that life with an addiction doesn't have to be hopeless. December 9, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Not to downplay the experience of battling addiction, but "A Million Little Pieces" feels bland because it goes over the typical scenes of bodily decay and temper tantrums without giving the narrative a truly human backstory. December 6, 2019 | Full Review…
