Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: He is, for 90 minutes, marvelous company - expansive, funny, generous and candid.
Fresh: Philip Roth may be unmasked but is only partially revealed in this very personable documentary portrait of one of the leading American literary figures of the past half-century.
Fresh: Roth was dashing, charming, a little dangerous, one of his college friends tells us, but she doesn't need to say it. It's manifest, and it's still true.
Rotten: This dully conventional biography doesn't do justice to its subject.
