Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

Drama. Comedy. Thriller Television made him famous, but his biggest hits happened off screen. This is the story of the double life of legendary showman Chuck Barris -- television producer by day, CIA assassin by night.
Media Author Review
United States
Variety
"A powerful and creative film (...) 'Confessions' carries the strong stamp of Kaufman" 
United States
Salon
"It's a funny, strange, sad and wonderful picture, packed with delightful performances by Hollywood stars"
United States
The Washington Post
"A darkly enjoyable roller-coaster ride -- Clooney and Kaufman deftly interweave the macabre with lightheartedness."
United States
Los Angeles Times
"George Clooney's first effort behind the camera was doubtless more stimulating to direct than it will be for audiences to watch"
United States
USA Today
"May not be a straightforward bio, nor does it offer much in the way of Barris' motivations, but the film is an oddly fascinating depiction of an architect of pop culture (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 
United States
The New York Times
"A good piece of work more often than not, and this is one of the few times an actor turned director has chosen to subvert the feel-good genre for his maiden voyage" 
United States
SFGATE
"A moody picture that's filled from start to finish with camera tricks, unexpected angles and innovative flourishes." 
United States
Vulture
"The problem with making a movie about a hollow man is that, when things start to get heavy, you’re stuck with nothingness at the core."
United States
Austin Chronicle
"A great, bizarre, and ultimately very, very unique film"
