An all-or-nothing perf from old DiCillo hand Steve Buscemi and a script that leaves no ironical stone unturned make this laugh-out-loud fare.

Rolling Stone
Buscemi makes this pathetic and potentially lethal shutterbug a figure of surprising humor and compassion.

The movie becomes less fizzy once DeCillo decides to make A Statement (a rather incoherent one at that).

Muddled, preachy film about a New York paparazzo finding his true self.

Los Angeles Times
A story peopled by flawed archetypes, it's an achingly funny film that is also a little sad around the edges.

Hollywood Reporter
Smart, funny and ultimately over-the-top spoof is more often than not, spot on.

Entertainment Weekly
It would be nice to see a sharp, funny, penetrating satire of the new, kicked-up culture of empty media fame, but Tom DiCillo's scattershot buddy movie Delirious isn't it.
