Review For Movie Salinger
This documentary is, perhaps, a lengthy advertisement for those upcoming books as well as the new biography, but it certainly stands on its own as a revealing glimpse at the genius and the misanthropy of a legendary man of letters.Alonso Duralde-The Wrap
It ends up feeling like a long-winded carnival-barker pitch, even though a goodly number of genuine gems are buried within its noisy confines.
Andrew Barker-Variety
You wonder why Salerno thought the man who created Holden Caulfield would be best served by an abundance of sentimentalism, a stock sap-tastic score and some genuinely cheesy dramatizations on a black stage (the director is no Hollywood phony, but still).
David Fear-Time Out New York
What the movie gets hilariously, howlingly wrong is the idea that a life like Salinger's-so extraordinary, yet so willfully humdrum-could somehow be captured by the most shopworn of cinematic techniques.
Alan Scherstuhl-Village Voice
Like the book, it suffers from its creators' obsessive zeal. Only here, you can't page ahead to the next chapter.
Tina Jordan-Entertainment Weekly
An outsized A&E Biography episode coursing with the strident urgency typical to anyone convinced they have something new to say on a long since played-out topic.
Steve Macfarlane-Slant Magazine
Shane Salerno's exhaustive documentary about one of America's most enigmatic and reclusive literary figures still manages to leave out essential elements that are only alluded to in the film.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
More interested in digging up dirt -- and gaining credit for being the one holding the shovel -- than in providing any genuine insight.
Michael Nordine-Willamette Week
A workmanlike doc-bio of a toweringly mysterious figure who rejected exactly the kind of cult of personality that this film continues to exploit.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
The good news is that you don't have to be a fan of Salinger's writing to get caught up in a detective story of what makes a toast of the literary town decide to disappear from public view for the last 45 years of his life.
