4/5
"Schadenfreude aside, what makes Overnight so riveting is the absolute certainty of Troy in his own destiny"
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
2/4
"...plays out like an 82-minute attack on [Troy Duffy] by a couple of exceedingly bitter ex-colleagues."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
2.5/4
"For anyone who gets a kick out of watching car wrecks, you really can’t do much better than this."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B
"A depressing look into the Hollywood dream factory... one that rightfully should turn off many who fantasize of becoming the next Steven Spielberg or David Fincher"
FilmJerk.com
Edward Havens
3/5
"
Overnight
always holds our interest, not so much as a documentary as an episode of a junky reality TV show. "
Los Angeles Alternative
Jay Antani
3/5
"This is the most lucid portrait of the over-exuberant go-go ‘90s."
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
C
"Smith and Montana's film suffers, ironically, for being told from a point of view too inside the action."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
3/5
"The film's practical lesson is that you should steer clear of dogfights unless yours is the biggest, meanest dog in the game."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
"[S]o perfect an example of well-earned comeuppance and karmic justice that if it weren’t true, someone would have had to make it up..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3.5/5
"Strikingly cautionary for anyone who thinks they're entitled to fame and fortune."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
4/5
"Troy Duffy might have truly deserved the Hollywood Blacklisting, but it's tough to live down an indictment as thorough as
Overnight
."
DVDTalk.com
Scott Weinberg
C
"The caustic cautionary tale of overnight success sabotaged by vanity and arrogance is perversely fascinating, to be sure, but blunt and ineloquent."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"For Duffy, watching this film must be like seeing a scab peeled off"
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Shane Burridge
3/4
"A funny, sad, and disturbing cautionary tale about the perils of instant success, the documentary
Overnight
should be required viewing for any aspiring filmmaker."
Reel.com
Timothy Knight
3.5/4
"The most fascinating aspect of
Overnight
is that it actually lends
The Boondock Saints
a measure of depth."
