Sight & Sound

a hilarious mix of production observation, movie-making incompetence, and unhinged self-implication into an art that always needs outsider input to renew itself.

... self-deprecating at times and meta while being a commentary on online fan boys and their access to celebrities, stalkers, and how everyone now thinks they can make a better movie on crowd funding.

Rated: 4/5

Directors Cut is a unique endeavour that it never outstays its welcome, despite the seemingly limiting storytelling device.

An extraordinarily clever - yet wickedly accessible - exercise in runaway metafiction ...

Director's Cut is a spoof within a spoof within a spoof... or as Woody Allen once said in another context, "a mockery of a travesty of a sham."

It was a good attempt at doing something quirky and different. Certainly a lot of effort went into dressing up scenes. I just wasn't a fan of the narration style of presentation.

Clever idea having a lunatic stalker recut a film to insert himself into the movie and the life of his obsession. The gag goes on a little too long perhaps but it's a good gag. Plus: I've seen Missi Pyle in dozens of things but didn't know her name. Now I'll never forget it!

I only give it 2 stars because Gilbert was in it. It could have been a great movie, but the whole, 'movie within a movie', thing just made this movie kind of crappy! Crowd funded or not, I would STILL ask for a refund!

It is a funny concept, with some brilliant performances by Jillette and Pyle, but the joke goes on way too long.
