      Audience Member "The reason I write assholes so well is because I was one." Great quote. I can't get enough of Dominick Dunne! He's vindictive, vengeful, unforgiving and he fully admits his asshole muscle is well exercised. The fact he concedes he went after and took down the judge in his daughter's murder trial, and the fact he owns up to his f-ups only serves to make me like him more. Using a Turnbull & Asser silk tie as a tourniquet to shoot up cocaine is classic Dunne. I'm surprised he lived as long as he did.. Loved this film. I could have done without the producer's intrusive off-camera questions, however. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This guy had an extraordinary life. Well worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting bio Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Wasted his life chasing it. Found it inside himself. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review terry g Effective & affecting bio-documentary. Insightful. Mr. Dunne is nothing if not candid & honest. I left the theater wanting to know more about him, and his journey through life. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Evan Williams The Australian His interviews suggest candour and humility and a wonderful enthusiasm for whatever cause he's espousing. Rated: 3/5 Oct 31, 2008 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Jolley and de Garis never come close to revealing whatever lurks in the heart of this intelligent, ambitious, plainly unhappy and not particularly admirable man, who bears scars from many wounds, not all of them self-inflicted. Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National It's an absorbing and honest film, but a sad one. Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Brian Duff FILMINK (Australia) An indelible vision of a compromised, peculiar man. Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Margaret Pomeranz At the Movies (Australia) An extraordinary account of a life spectacularly but not always wisely or well-lived. Rated: 4/5 Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Louise Keller Urban Cinefile I couldn't stop watching this riveting documentary about a man so obsessed by celebrity that he became one. But the story doesn't end there. Wealth, fame, power and love nose-dive on life's slippery dip. Oct 20, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
