Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Paltrow and Baumbach simply walk De Palma through his filmography and collect his best stories. But this systematic approach has a nice leveling effect in that his more obscure, offbeat projects get as much attention as his signature films.

fresh:
De Palma remains a focused and productive filmmaker at 75, with several productions in the development pipeline. "De Palma" makes one hope that he'll keep up the pace for years to come.

fresh:
De Palma is a deceptively simple documentary film: Director Brian De Palma sits in front of a fireplace for nearly two hours and talks about his life and career. If you love movies, it's time well spent.
