2.5/5
"In fact, the real problems with Chapter 27 is it vagueness. Everyone here - Leto, Lohan, Friedlander - leaves us in the lurch, and nothing Schaefer does can save our confusion."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

""I hate the movies. They're phony, so goddamned phony." Poor Mark David Chapman: no matter how many times he rejects the world of celebrity and phoniness, he's dragged back inside."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

"This misbegotten psychological portrait eagerly foregrounds Leto's excess blubber and histrionic blather, delivered like bad improv outside the Dakota building."  Village Voice  Ed Gonzalez

D-
"The film manages to be entirely about Mark David Chapman without saying a single insightful thing about him."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

0.5/4
"Will likely make its own mark on history as the single most relentlessly self-conscious vanity project to ever be conceived."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

2/4
"The film's 85 minutes drag by painfully slowly, because there's no respite from Chapman's tedious, self-pitying reveries."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2/5
"Enter Mark David Chapman's mind and prepare to be bored out of yours."  UR Chicago Magazine  Mark Dujsik

1/4
"At one point, Chapman confesses that he doesn't enjoy the movies because they're "so goddamn phony," and with regard to the superficial, ugly-as-dirt Chapter 27, he's right on the money."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"Feels like thirty pages of script in a 90-minute frame."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

3/10
