Combine this with insightful interviews and joyful narration from Alan Cumming, and we get quite the look into Welles’ psyche, turning the documentary from light-hearted to somewhat tragic.

Episode 18: The Danse Macabre

| Original Score: 72/100 | Sep 3, 2021

...awash in wonderful archive footage from the later years of his life as he went about the elongated production of [The Other Side of the] Wind

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 26, 2019

It's a brilliantly created documentary on the gusto, exasperation and genius of the filmmaker who at an early age gave us Citizen Kane.

| Original Score: A | Jan 8, 2019

A more straightforward doc would have served the film better, and likely made people who chose to watch it before Wind more curious about the film itself.

"Less hubristic than its source material, Morgan Neville's softer version of this project is perhaps more satisfying."

| Nov 9, 2018

This comes off better than Welles' supposed masterpiece. It gives great context into the film business in the 70s and Welles' struggle to find his place within it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2018

With this documentary, Morgan Neville has made a movie about Orson Welles that would have transfixed the great master himself.

| Nov 9, 2018

A window into Welles' hall-of-mirrors mind.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 9, 2018

Extraordinarily entertaining.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 7, 2018

Docu about Welles' unfinished final film; sex, nudity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 7, 2018

But outside of the difficulty of working with a cinematic luminary like Orson Welles, They'll Love Me When I'm Dead deftly outlines the numerous other factors that led to the film's eventual demise.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 5, 2018

[Not] just a companion piece to The Other Side of the Wind. As it turns out, bearing Welles's words in mind, it becomes almost a meta version of Welles's movie. I would like to think that the great magician himself would have approved.

| Original Score: A- | Nov 5, 2018

Fans of the great Orson Welles who are curious about why he never finished his last film should not miss director Morgan Neville's revealing documentary.

| Nov 5, 2018

What I do appreciate is the warmth of this piece. Something as simple as Rich Little doing a near-perfect imitation of John Huston, for instance, filled me with much joy.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 4, 2018

It's frenzied, jumbled, morose-much like The Other Side of the Wind.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2018

A surprisingly touching film, and one that makes you want to go back and look at The Other Side of the Wind some more.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 3, 2018

The movie can't help but portray [Welles] as an inspired and inspiring figure.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 2, 2018

This documentary is an oddity.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2018

At its best, They'll Love Me When I'm Dead is a "great man" biography with the emphasis on the man.
