Instead of focusing only on the director's patented thematic and stylistic motifs, [De Palma] calls attention to the patterns of its subject's personality.

San Diego CityBeat
Acolytes of Brian De Palma's flavorful, flamboyant filmography hardly need reminding of his acrobatic ability as a visual storyteller; what they'll learn from DE PALMA is that in front of the camera, he's a pretty marvelous raconteur, too.
Variety
De Palma is a deceptively simple documentary film: Director Brian De Palma sits in front of a fireplace for nearly two hours and talks about his life and career. If you love movies, it's time well spent.

Chicago Sun-Times
[De Palma] expresses a keen self-awareness about his own habits, failures, and voyeuristic impulses....Maybe De Palma and his madly, garishly inventive thrillers provide all the personality DE PALMA needs.
A.V. Club
[T]here's never been doubt that director Brian De Palma is a filmmaker down to his fingertips. DE PALMA, the documentary with his name on it, expertly explores just what that means...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Riveting and highly entertaining.

Little White Lies
4 stars out of 4 -- DE PALMA is one of the essential documentaries on Hollywood....A thoughtful and often hilarious look at the ups and downs of the American film industry over the last half-century, as seen through the eyes of one of its most idiosyncratic participants.

Product Description:
This documentary explores the five-decade career of legendary filmmaker Brian De Palma via clips from his movies and extensive interviews with the director. De Palma candidly recalls his triumphs and flops; the influence of Alfred Hitchcock on his work; and Hollywood's 1970s golden age, in which he and fellow auteurs like Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, and Steven Spielberg were given the freedom to make challenging films within the studio system. Directed by Noah Baumbach (FRANCES HA) and Jake Paltrow (YOUNG ONES).
