Audience Member Not even going to spend a second with Amazon's choices anymore. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Between a 8/10 and 9/10, Jason's simultaneously funny and tragic, and almost heroic in the way he keeps eluding director Shirley Clarke's efforts to pin him down. Portrait of Jason is a curious and fascinating example of cinema verité, all the ramifications of which cannot be immediately known. Born Aaron Payne, Jason Holiday gives the performance of any lifetime, and it is superb artifice. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Rot. Why did she waste film on this. Just go watch the film about Capote if you want to see an interesting homosexual Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a lovely soul. Worth the watch, for Jason, not for the exploits of whomever this "Carl" or even Shirley Clarke in making the film. So happy to have found this after all of these years of hearing about it from the man himself. RIP Jason Holiday and live forever. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review s r Fascinating despite its intimate, unruly frankness. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A very important movie, a very good movie, though probably overlong. But a classic example of a kind of despicable filmmaking that really bugs me. I don't come away from this liking the filmmakers at all. Or liking Jason all that much really too, but I feel for him, because they ambushed him and took advantage of him. It's exploitative. And the best moments of the film are when it's not.
