      Richard Brody New Yorker Sutak tells this amazing story with an admirable directness and simplicity; he avoids the sense of documentary convention and seems to be following the urgency of his own sense of wonder. Feb 28, 2021 Full Review Chuck Foster Film Threat With Dons of Disco, director Jonathan Sutak beautifully tells the story of one of Europe's most popular '80s recording artists, Den Harrow, and the embittered turmoil arising from his own lip-synching revelation. Rated: 9/10 Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail It's terrific fun, just like the music, itself, mostly thanks to the engaging presence of the two lead subjects. Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See There's nothing tragic, everyone got paid, there's little on the line, but Dons of Disco paints a fascinating, compelling portrait of dueling butt-hurt egos, wonton petty bitterness, and constant escalation. Totally low stakes, but absolutely compelling. Rated: B+ Feb 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Ziggy If you are a creative person, this documentary is a must-see Ever been to a nightclub and seen the attractive but shy guys get nowhere while the bad boys with less style get all the girls? What sets them apart? The first will overthink, doubt and ruin his chances. The second has confidence in knowing he cannot fail. Here's a crazy true story about 2 equally good looking guys. Tom is a super talented singer-songwriter. Den, a charismatic dancer who don't speak english. The record label makes an offer to Tom to "borrow his voice" to the lipsyncing dancer. He agrees. Den becomes a superstar, everyone gets paid, but things are now not what they're supposed to. On the surface, "Dons of Disco" is a fun and entertaining documentary about Italo Disco's version of Milli Vanilli and where are they now. Underneath, a reminder to creative people to never doubt themselves and go all in. There all loads of shoulda woulda couldas. All they really lacked was faith and confidence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
