Media Author Review
United States
The New York Times
"'Permanent Midnight' is as enveloping as it is darkly cautionary, thanks to the effectively varied layers of Mr. Veloz's direction and the bitter intensity Mr. Stiller brings to his central role."
United States
USA Today
"The movie, lacking snap and sarcasm, fails to convey the book's tone"
United States
The Washington Post
"Despite some small narrative flaws, though, Stiller alone is reason to keep watching. " 
United States
Philadelphia Inquirer
"'Permanent Midnight' fails to deliver a true story of redemption, of someone who has come through the dark side and conquered his demons."
United States
Austin Chronicle
"Despite its subject matter and some humorous moments, the film lacks any real verve and punch, and brings little new to the table in the already tired new genre of junkie confession"
United States
Variety
"Stiller’s attempted image makeover, though admirable, doesn’t make it. His perform-ance is strictly from the clenched-teeth, 'Look at me, I’m acting!' school."
