Synopsis: George Clooney makes his directorial debut with this frenetic, visually dazzling black comedy. Based on notorious television producer Chuck Barris' "unauthorized autobiography," Clooney's film... [More]

Director: George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind may not be in the Citizen Kane class, but George Clooney's first foray behind the camera does boast similarly bravura technique and an infectious sense of joy in the filmmaking process.
Top CriticThe movie feels like it's going to be great, and it carries on feeling that way for a long time, but takeoff just never happens.
Darkly funny, surprising and very enjoyable, there’s enough here to suggest that Clooney should direct again.
No review available.
A genuine mixed bag, full of entertaining moments but also bogged down by Clooney's overwhelming desire to emulate his frequent screen collaborator Steven Soderbergh.
Clooney zips through a very funny first act, before becoming a little bogged down as the action enters John le Carré territory.
If for nothing else, go see Rockwell’s performance. It’s about time for him to bust out into bigger and better roles, and if it happens, this movie will be why.
Clooney's ambition renders Denzel's "Good Will Fisher" / "Finding Fisher" debut pedestrian in comparison.
The movie isn't out to answer questions, but to show you just how deep & intesting those questions can get. In the mean time, it's damn entertaining.
Too succinct and too straightforward for its enigmatic subject.
...A wacky movie about a wacky person, a film whose details we are never really sure we are supposed to believe. But perhaps this uncertainty is what makes it so engaging.
Clooney directs this film always keeping the balance between the fantastic and the believable...
The American film of the season -- and maybe of the year, or the last couple of years...
While the results are often stylish, interesting and humorous, the film unfortunately lacks focus and fails to resonate on an emotional level.
unfolds in a striking visual palette of washed out colors and deep shadows, almost as if we’re watching it on an old television set whose picture tube is about to burn out
There's nothing dangerous about Chuck Barris' mind. Unfortunately, there's not much interesting about it either.
It's deftly written by Charlie Kaufman.
[The movie] makes up in vitality what it loses in veracity.
With a dedication to seamless scene transitions not witnessed since, maybe, 1992’s Hoffa, Clooney keeps the film light, and even a little fun.
If nothing else, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind ought to make Sam Rockwell a star.
