Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times: As always, Buscemi masters his portrayal of needy desperation, but he still makes Les admirable for his capacity to go with the flow. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: ...it depends so consistently on plot contrivances and other movies (The King of Comedy,Midnight Cowboy, even All About Eve) that it often comes across as wannabe muckraking. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: DiCillo gets at how celebrity culture can erode a person's dignity and self-worth, and Buscemi's performance strikes just the right note between unctuous bottom-feeder and loveable loser. It's unfortunate that the rest of the movie tends to get too glib. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Someday, far in the future, a team of archeologists will dig up the black, wizened, still beating heart of New York City, and it will look exactly like Steve Buscemi. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: It's an achingly funny film that is also a little sad around the edges. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Too many different stories are vying for attention here, and none of them are very good. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It would be nice to see a sharp, funny, penetrating satire of the new, kicked-up culture of empty media fame, but Tom DiCillo's scattershot buddy movie Delirious isn't it. Read more
Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com: DiCillo's themes are loyalty and friendship and betrayal and redemption. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: The prickly camaraderie between Buscemi and Pitt puts Delirious back on track, abetted by a hilarious turn by Gina Gershon. Read more
David Denby, New Yorker: The movie is exhilarating in a way that only hard-won knowledge of the world can be. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: In the end, I don't know that Delirious has all that much to say about the fame game, but you'll laugh nonetheless. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Despite some plot holes, Delirious hits the bull's-eye with razor-sharp performances and dialogue. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Tom DiCillo's Delirious, from his own screenplay, presents a paparazzo's worm's-eye view of the ridiculous world of celebrity culture. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: For all its time-worn situations and observations, Delirious has a truth or two to impart about our lust for celebrities. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Delirious, by writer-director Tom DiCillo, has a special quality because it does not make paparazzi a target but a subject. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: Delirious, is among DiCillo's best, and returns to the central theme of his career: the elusive and destructive nature of fame. Read more
David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle: With Delirious, writer-director Tom DiCillo has crafted a wonderfully giddy meditation on the nature of fame, the people who sell it and those doing the buying, and their mutually parasitic dependence on each other. Read more
Jonathan Holland, Variety: A high-energy rags-to-riches satire about a deranged New York paparazzo and a wannabe thesp, Delirious is hilarious. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Tom DiCillo's Delirious is a mild Midnight Cowboy, a minor King of Comedy, and mainly a vehicle for Steve Buscemi as a lower Manhattan-based paparazzo. Read more
