Scott Foundas Variety Shows more than a few flashes of wit, intelligence and craft amid all the excess. Jul 31, 2013 Full Review David DeWitt New York Times "Colossus" will leave you reeling in the best of ways, dizzy from a rock 'n' roll Tilt-A-Whirl that swirls with duplicity and hilarity. Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2013 Full Review Aaron Hillis Village Voice 134 minutes of pointless pomposity ... Jul 16, 2013 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Orson Welles's "F for Fake" was obvious the inspiration for this film. It would have been better if the script was up Welles's more modest productions. But very few films are today unfortunately. Jul 20, 2013 Full Review Chris Barsanti Film Journal International ...mockumentary about a conflicted con artist crafting a film-within-a-film about creating a fake rock band in Russia coats itself in self-regard but ends up nothing more than a tiresome folly.
