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."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
