The film runs at the speed of light through bizarre stories in Donald Stellwag’s life, a life that itself is just so interesting and entertaining that you won’t be able to look away.

Rated: 3.5/5

It's as if the film was dropped and broke apart, then put back together in the worst possible order.

Rated: 2/5

Decider

Stellweg’s wild life undoubtedly deserves to be the subject of a documentary, but Big Mack: Gangsters and Gold isn’t quite the rigorous rendering it deserves.

Alexander G

Amazing story about a miscarriage of justice, about guilt and innocence, about health and illness, told entertainingly and with enigmatic humor. It becomes visible how much the media like black-and-white stories. However, the filmmaker suggests that it is probably not as clear-cut as it is publicly portrayed.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
