Delirious Reviews

It is more than a rom-com and more than a buddy film. It is definitely a film that stands on its own.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Nov 7, 2020

DiCillo's extended cut of Delirious holds up a microscope to the celebrity circus that still carries on. He dissects egos as fragile as glass and the pettiness that comes with fame.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 29, 2020

Delirious sizzles as long as it loiters in the R. Crumb universe of geeky losers who keep their homicidal urges at least barely in check.

| May 26, 2020

Delirious is definitive DiCillo: goofy and cartoonish at the edges, at times a little obvious in its caricature of our celebrity-obsessed culture, but humble and funny enough to compel viewers to overlook its flaws.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt are easily the best odd couple the movies have seen since Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

| Mar 15, 2009

Leaves us with the same old familiar and empty Hollywood storyline on the world of celebrity culture.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 23, 2009

It's not as sharp as his indie gems from the mid-1990s, but the thing's packed with bright performances and unique characters, which is what DiCillo does best.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 8, 2008

The film isn't as broadly funny as the previous DiCillo-Buscemi collaboration Living in Oblivion, but its outsiders peering in have an uncomfortable resonance.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 5, 2008

Underwritten and overplayed, it is one that not even Buscemi fans will treasure.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 8, 2008

DiCillo's themes are loyalty and friendship and betrayal and redemption.

| Dec 13, 2007

DiCillo hasn't lost his gift for artfully skewering both those basking in fame's spotlight and those lurking in the shadows, while still finding a measure of affection for all of them.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 3, 2007

A victim of its own vitriol.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 1, 2007

This satirical comedy is a connoisseur's delight, with Steve Buscemi in top form as the runt of a paparazzo who tries to exploit a homeless young man.

| Oct 27, 2007

Mature paparazzi drama isn't quite in focus.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 22, 2007

As always, Buscemi masters his portrayal of needy desperation, but he still makes Les admirable for his capacity to go with the flow.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 5, 2007

DiCillo is ultimately grounded in the eccentric, awkward relationship

| Original Score: B | Oct 4, 2007

I just wish you'd get the chance to see it in a theater like I did, because if more people took the time to do so then maybe we might actually get more intelligently crafted relationship comedies like it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 27, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2007
