FRAMING JOHN DELOREAN is indeed an attempt to frame the story of John DeLorean via the aforementioned unconventional methods -- but it’s also a reference to the government’s entrapment-fueled case against the beleaguered automaker in the 1980s.
Chicago Sun-Times
Combining documentary footage and interviews with Baldwin's convincing reenactments (and truly, who better to play another '80s raider than Baldwin?), the true story is allowed to shine through, the fact stranger than fiction.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
Joyce and Argott cleverly depict the story of an extraordinary con man; and like the aforementioned biopics, his story is a compelling one.

[A] tasty and satisfying look at the rise and fall of the self-styled auto magnate of the ’70s and ’80s...
Variety
Dramatic reenactments in documentaries are rarely that effective. And the ambitious, starry level to which they're taken in the otherwise involving biodoc "Framing John DeLorean" only underscores how distracting and unconvincing they can be.

3 stars out of 4 -- It is true that no movie can tell the full story of a man’s life. But movies like this one can tell us something important about our own.
