Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- Here, you can feel De Niro's full engagement in a character that echoes his roles in TAXI DRIVER and AWAKENINGS. It's a great wreck of a performance that feels bruisingly true.
Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 4 -- What's admirable about BEING FLYNN is that it doesn't cave in to the standard Hollywood redemption formulas, with the father redeemed and the son inspired. It's more complicated than that.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/4 --
What's so satisfying about Weitz films like this one is how his lost boys and lost adults find themselves in the awkward dance of intimacy.

Rating: D --
De Niro has succumbed to the false perception that 'great acting' is synonymous with screaming and yelling every line like your career depended on it.

Weitz digs diligently for emotional truths and makes the most of his excellent cast.
