Critics Consensus: Though Bratt is great in the title role, the biopic itself is messy and Piñero grows tiresome.

Overlapping the artist's biography and his work, writer-director Leon Ichaso pointedly reflects the chaos in his subject's shortish life, but he links the artist's frustrations and talent in the usual manner: as cause and effect.
A scattershot stab at a fascinating life and times.
Flashily but irritatingly shot, full of unmotivated switches from colour to b/w, sudden flashbacks, mannered slow mo and jump cuts, this is hardly a subtle evocation of its subject's life.
A vivid rendering of the complexities of the artist's soul, and a notable attempt to convey the trajectory of a volatile creative life.
Bratt's performance is as steady and consistent as the film is frustrating.
It's impressionistic and risks incoherence, but it works as a successful montage of the unruly life of a sensitive, talented, but conflicted man whose self-destructiveness it never tries to sugarcoat or deny.
A dull, slow, and completely uninteresting biopic.
Who was Piñero, and more to the point, why should we care? Bratt brings him to life, but we come away appreciating his genius no more than we did before.
The narrative jumps haphazardly from set-piece to set-piece.
A movie of attitude that -- much like its main character -- consumes itself.
An artistic nightmare, marred by numerous stylistic leaps.
The only reason a person hops back-and-forth in one scene, from scene to scene, using (a) color film, (b) black-and-white stock, and (c) digital video (then back to (b), then (c) again, then (a), then...) is merely to do it because they can.
