4.5/5
"Roman Polanski deserves his badge of dishonor, no question about it. This amazing documentary argues that others need to start sporting one as well."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

8/10
"None of the interviewees in Marina Zenovich's fascinating documentary manages to make sense of the famous filmmaker's behavior or apparent thinking. But they all have compelling impressions."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

4/5
"a great and somewhat Kafkaesque story that Polanski might have enjoyed directing... had it been fiction."  Filmcritic.com  Don Willmott

3/4
"Seeks to explore both sides of the endless debate and asks all parties to consider every angle before labeling him as a pedophile or misunderstood genius..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

"A judiciously argued account with intriguing asides"  CinePassion  Fernando F. Croce

3.5/4
"an essential entry in Hollywood's cultural chronicle"  Cinema Writer  Jay Antani

2/4
"Its indictment ultimately feels like a secondary issue to Polanski's apparently incontrovertible guilt, which makes him--in this instance--still more victimizer than victim."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

B
"The film walks a fine line between contempt for Polanski's crimes and sympathy for his trials and his screwed-up psyche, and it manages both..."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
