[Director] Arquette is good with performance but can’t quite get her arms around a clunky script, one that allows its inconsistent characters to get sucked into the vortex of its larger-than-life central personality.

TheWrap

A movie about Hunter S. Thompson — sorry, a movie about somebody who is not Hunter S. Thompson but is a lot like him — wouldn’t feel right if it didn’t keep going over the edge until everybody, including the audience, was exhausted.

It’s a stellar, smart debut for Arquette, an energetic and original spin on a concept that still bears repeating: Don’t ever count any girl out.

Rated: B

Literary Hub

This adaptation of Cheryl Della Pietra’s novel, directed by Patricia Arquette, stumbles inelegantly and becomes entangled in a clunky script that mirrors limitations of its source material.

Ever hear the one about the fresh-faced intern who goes to work for the drugged-up ne'er-do-well who isn't nearly the talent they used to be and who is actually Hunter S. Thompson but not called that? Yeah, I've forgotten it already too.

Rated: 1.5/4

As "Walker Reade" Willem Dafoe brings all the gonzo required to keep Hunter S Thompson fans interested. First time director Arquette will do well in future with a stronger script.

Rated: 3/5
