There's an element of revenge in it, with the filmmakers editing their footage in a way that highlights Duffy's bad behavior -- but, for the most part, their subject sinks himself.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 18, 2008

Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith's acidic, vitriolic takedown of Duffy boasts the abrasive intensity of a migraine headache and the depth and scope of a bona fide American tragedy.

Duffy's story is a potentially notable one, but this documentary's amateur production values and the man's grating personality make it not-so-enjoyable watching.

| May 10, 2008

A portrait of Hollywood hubris extraordinaire.

[An] unflinching depiction of a would-be Tarantino turning himself into chopped liver.

For Duffy, watching this film must be like seeing a scab peeled off

Full Review | Dec 17, 2006

A compulsive, cautionary tale about a man whose self-trumpeted 'deep cesspool of creativity' seems destined to remain undredged.

The "next Quentin Tarantino" crashes and burns

| Jan 10, 2006

The two directors take so much abuse from Duffy throughout the film that you can't help but feel that Overnight is their long-overdue revenge.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 9, 2005

A disturbing, sad and blisteringly funny cautionary tale, I reckon this is the documentary of the year.

| Jul 8, 2005

Enjoyable because you get to see a huge ego and shameless publicist get his comeuppence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 8, 2005

...plays out like an 82-minute attack on [Troy Duffy] by a couple of exceedingly bitter ex-colleagues.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 1, 2005

funny and mean

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 1, 2005

Overnight is horrifying and fascinating... It should be required viewing in film schools and a cautionary tale for anyone aspiring to work in Hollywood.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 28, 2005

Troy Duffy might have truly deserved the Hollywood Blacklisting, but it's tough to live down an indictment as thorough as Overnight.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 20, 2005

Strikingly cautionary for anyone who thinks they're entitled to fame and fortune.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 14, 2005

For whatever reasons -- rights issues, personal promises, fear of legal retaliation -- we only catch glimpses of some of the more important moments in this story.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 5, 2005

The film's personal point of view does effectively put you in the shoes of the little guy in the Hollywood machine, sitting by the phone, bewildered.
