The farce is so light on its feet that it's buoyant.

Self-pity, self-parody and self-destruction are blurred to cringe-inducing effect in He's Way More Famous Than You.
Justin Chang, Variety
Rotten
The screenplay never meshes its ideas into one satirical story or even a series of sketches with individually coherent points. A little meta goes a long, long way.
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post

This frenetic movie has moments of wit, and Ms. Feiffer, a seasoned screen and Broadway performer, has range, stamina and charisma.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten
Feiffer sometimes gets snagged on the look-at-me nature of her meta-performance, veering from pathological to pathetic, and not always in the best way.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
