Philip Roth: Unmasked Movie Review: | |
Frustratingly little light is shed on either Roth's life or his work by this series of interviews with the novelist and a curious selection of admirers. Kyle Smith-New York Post For some 90 minutes, it's pretty much just one guy talking. But what a guy! Stephanie Zacharek-NPR This dully conventional biography doesn't do justice to its subject. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Philip Roth may be unmasked but is only partially revealed in this very personable documentary portrait of one of the leading American literary figures of the past half-century. Todd McCarthy-Hollywood Reporter Roth was dashing, charming, a little dangerous, one of his college friends tells us, but she doesn't need to say it. It's manifest, and it's still true. Alan Scherstuhl-Village Voice Ultimately, the film is less of an unmasking of Roth than it is an enigmatic guru's rousing master class. You leave a little bit wiser about yourself. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York Admiring if less than revealing documentary about one of the great writers of our time. David Noh-Film Journal International Sticking to what's on the page pays off, especially with regard to Roth's undervalued late novels, but also means he has [the filmmakers] just where he wants them. Sam Adams-AV Club In spite of the film's exhaustive chronology, those who deduce from its title that they're in for an unveiling, or an unraveling, of a major literary figure may come out empty-handed.
