Critic Reviews for Framing John DeLorean

All Critics (48) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (43) | Rotten (5)

  • The tremendous and jaw-dropping twists Framing John DeLorean takes will never cease to amaze.

    June 30, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

    Robert Daniels

    812filmreviews

  • ...why not make a borderline bat-bleep crazy docu-something of a film chronicling the whole thing?

    June 21, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Richard Roeper

    Chicago Sun-Times

  • It's both inspiring and a cautionary tale, filled with drama, intrigue, hubris, comedy and tragedy. It's an American story, and a wild one at that.

    June 14, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

    Adam Graham

    Detroit News

  • Dramatic reenactments in documentaries are rarely that effective. And the ambitious, starry level to which they're taken in the otherwise involving biodoc "Framing John DeLorean" only underscores how distracting and unconvincing they can be.

    Gary Goldstein

    Los Angeles Times

  • Like DeLorean, this documentary admirably is not afraid to take risks.

    June 13, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    David Lewis

    San Francisco Chronicle

  • An uneven blend of fact and fiction.
