David Sterritt

A hilarious and harrowing cautionary tale. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Brutally funny documentary. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

Overnight's only narrative hole is an inability to pinpoint why Miramax stonewalled him. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Reminiscent of HBO’s new hit "Entourage." Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Despite a last-minute attempt to bring poignancy to the tale, you don't walk away from Overnight feeling sorry for Duffy as much as you are glad you never met him. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

Though Overnight seems to be cautioning us about the excesses of filmmaker ego, it isn't always consistent. Read full review

J. Hoberman

One of the best documentaries ever made! Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith told a story that makes "Hearts of Darkness" look like an "AfterSchool Special". Tony is hot, by the way!

A brilliant documentary about fame, ambition, and greed. A cautionary tale that everyone should see, especially those in artistic fields and/or the movie business.

There's no doubt that Duffy was/is a terrible person to work for, but to pretend that Overnight is an unbiased look at Duffy's personality is just as delusional as Duffy was acting in this film. People who hated The Boondock Saints, and couldn't understand its cult status, use Overnight as some sort of rallying point for their cause, while people who have actually worked with Duffy (and rightfully can't stand him), point to Overnight and say, "See? This is what it was like." Yet, no one wants to discuss just how flawed and obviously-biased Overnight is, and how it's entire point (despite the poor claims to the contrary) is to smear Duffy across the floor.… Expand
