The Kid Stays in the Picture Reviews

A documentary almost as colorful as its subject.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 19, 2021

The directors know enough to stay in the background and their one stylistic touch is brilliantly appropriate.

It offers a fascinating peek into the (not always glamorous) life of a Hollywood big shot. Full of insight, meaty tidbits, and not without humor, this documentary is one of the best.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 27, 2013

entertains and brings a true insider view

| Original Score: B | Oct 21, 2012

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

The entire movie is purely from Evans' own perspective and any baggage he carries, but it sure is a treat.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 6, 2004

A skewed, self-serving but revealing portrait of Evans's life . . . a perversely thrilling look at the pathetic backroom truth behind some of '70s Hollywood's deepest films.

Full Review | Dec 1, 2003

The documentary styled pic though entertaining was nevertheless irrelevant.

| Original Score: C + | May 27, 2003

It's fairly absorbing, because tales of rise and fall usually are, but it's not very accomplished as a piece of cinema.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2003

I'm willing to bet ... that I don't see another [documentary] this year as richly entertaining or as cathartic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 16, 2002

Frank, hugely entertaining but hugely biased film.
