"The Amazing Johnathan Documentary" is ostensibly about a comic and is often very funny. There are snatches out of the Amazing Johnathan archive and repertoire, which includes gross-out gags and no small amount of meta magic. Aug 16, 2019 | Full Review…

Watching Berman persist is fascinating, embarrassing and undignified, like a politician on "Dancing With the Stars." Why, I wondered, is he doing this? Aug 15, 2019 | Full Review…

A deeper dive into Szeles' ostensibly complex psychological makeup might have given the movie more heft, though Szeles, magician that he is, clearly remains more about the illusion than the reveal. Aug 15, 2019 | Full Review…

Like The Amazing Johnathan's act, it's a funny, trippy, lively bit of sleight of hand that can often make you feel like you're seeing something extraordinary, even if it's just some prankster fucking with you. Aug 13, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

"The Amazing Johnathan Documentary" ultimately has a lot to say, mainly when the focus moves away from Johnathan himself and centers on director Benjamin Berman. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

With his nothing-to-lose attitude, [Johnathan] is a perfect subject for this stranger-than-fiction doc that is equal parts fascinating and odd. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
