The new documentary on Joan Rivers is so in your face, so fraught with harrowing, oversized personal stuff, you might want to get a theatre seat a couple of rows behind where you normally sit, to safely take it all in.
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

Welcome to the on-screen psychoanalysis of Joan Rivers, of which she seems equal parts willing participant and antagonist.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Acting is about honesty, and there's something evasive about both this film and its subject.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
A compulsively watchable look at Rivers, show business and the price one pays to try to continue succeeding in it.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
