Critic Reviews for The Death and Life of John F. Donovan

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (5)

A work of stunning technique eclipsed by its increasingly jaw-dropping solipsism...

Top Critic

A spectacular mash of half-baked ideas... Well, that, and a movie that just got lost somewhere in the editing room.

Top Critic

[Dolan's] film falls victim to his worst tendencies.

Top Critic

Dolan's English-language debut whinges about personal neuroses rather than probing homophobia or celebrity.

September 11, 2018 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…
Top Critic

[A] half-baked, cumbersome, overlong psychodrama.

September 11, 2018 | Full Review…
Top Critic

A baffling screenplay in which all the characters speak in the same, pretentious voice, stylistically vapid direction and non-existent drama add up to a fatal verdict.
