See more 09/30/2018 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. See more 06/30/2017 Rot. Why did she waste film on this. Just go watch the film about Capote if you want to see an interesting homosexual See more 12/18/2016 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.

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.
