Peter Debruge Variety She may not have been a political comic before, but now, in the punchy, caustically cynical terms with which she once love-hated Hollywood, the justifiably indignant comic reveals how the system runs and the strings are pulled. Aug 4, 2019 Full Review Beandrea July Hollywood Reporter The film is enormously funny (like her or not, anyone who says Griffin isn't talented is just disingenuous at this point), and the Los Angeles audience in front of whom she taped it eats every bit up. Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Kathy Griffin: A Hell Of A Story details a tale that seems too absurd to be real, but it did happen, and it ruined a talented artist's life. Griffin gets her points about the first amendment across in a hysterical way... Rated: 10/10 Mar 18, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

andrew k About 20 minutes of brutally honest documentary and then into her comedy special. Which is equal parts revelations of the horrible crap she's endured from conservative America and cowardly industry people who abandoned her, and then expertly crafted comedy to provide enough levity to clear a path through the darkness. Think what you want about Kathy Griffin, the response to the photo was ridiculous and her utter refusal to just crawl into a corner and let her career die is actually pretty inspiring. I challenge anyone to have that kind of perseverance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member She knew from the beginning! She's a f*****g queen!! Regardless of if you love or hate her, watch this to listen to her side of the story! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Trash documentary. Clearly a very lame attempt by her to recover from the severe career damage this action caused. Cheaply disguised as a comedy it contains some well thought out and rehearsed lines and excuses for her disgusting , Anti-American actions claiming it as "Art".... *** It's NOT art, It's Treason! (100% THUMBS DOWN!) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I think that Kathy Griffin has confused 'humor' which is designed to make people laugh, with her own political frustrations for a long time. Say something funny, Kathy, the world is waiting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member If you care about Trump taking away our 1st Amendment rights, watch this special. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupidest movie ever. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/19 Full Review Read all reviews
