"The Disaster Artist is funny and somewhat depressing, one of those haha movies that make you wonder if its laughs are really on us." - Manohla Dargis, The NYTimes

“…a brilliant comedic portrayal of a Hollywood outsider by a Hollywood insider whose own artistic pursuits have consistently defied easy categorization – and the most sincere veneration of a Z-grade auruer since Tim Burton’s Ed Wood.” - Peter Kuplowsky, TIFF
