Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A mixed bag of realism and arch, dramatic exaggeration.
This movie keeps falling out of rhythm just when it should be picking up pace. It's a fitful piece of wrong beginnings and false ends.
Interview feels more like a lab experiment/tribute than a committed, personal drama, leaving us with the sense that Buscemi wanted to feel more connected to this material than he actually did.
Buscemi's film conveys the spirit of its source material but doesn't make a satisfying transmogrification out of its homage.
