I cannot praise Living In Oblivion too highly, but I doubt that it will make fifty million dollars the moment it is shown.

A ten-minute joke stretched to near exhaustion.

| Apr 18, 2022

Tom DeCillo's hilarious comedy about the pain in the ass of independent filmmaking circa 1995 is a hoot.

| Original Score: FOUR STARS | Feb 27, 2022

Slight but smart, and it doesn't overstay its welcome.

The segment in which Nick (Steve Buscemi) attempts to film a dream sequence (not unlike the famous one from 온라인카지노추천's Twin Peaks) featuring a dwarf named Tito (Peter Dinklage) is worth the rental/purchase price alone.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 28, 2015

A hip indie version of Truffaut's Day for Night, Living in Oblivion celebrates the very act of filmmaking as grand folly, a triumph of absurdist heroism.

| Original Score: A- | Sep 7, 2011

DiCillo effectively uses dream sequences and black-and-white film to spoof the pretentiousness of indie films, but remains thoughtful and clever throughout. And every performance is spot-on.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 11, 2007

Probably the best and funniest of the mid-'90s crop of movies about making movies.

| Original Score: A | Apr 9, 2007

A valentine to the independent film world, DiCillo's version of Truffaut's Night for Day offers a smart, amusing look at the perils of low-budget filmmaking; the ensemble acting is superb.

Really clever little comedy about low-budget filmmaking with Buscemi at his best.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 24, 2003

Sluggish, dumbly overpraised farce about an indie movie I would never see, but I still might pick over this one.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2003

Meaty and witty, the sort of product that rewards a closer examination even as it buggers intimacy.
