As drama, it's a near miss. Yet as an introduction -- or a reminder -- of a singular talent, it has its appeal.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Superficially clever yet profoundly shallow.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
A strange trip but a far from satisfying one.
Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz

What is most wonderful about Man on the Moon, a very good film, is that it remains true to Kaufman's stubborn vision.
