Audience Member This should have been better than it is. A slightly fuzzy satire about fame and loyalty, it only really fires up when the ever-excellent Steve Buscemi is on screen. He plays a sleazeball paparazzo, always on the outside looking in, until a chance encounter with a sleepy hobo (Michael Pitt) offers him unexpected access to the celebrity A-list. It's fun while it lasts, but it's not as original or quirky as it wants to be, and a bit of a disappointment coming from Tom DiCillo. But Buscemi is great. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review scott m Movie about a paparazzi who befriends a homeless kid and teaches him the business. Then the kid becomes famous and he becomes jealous. Missed the mark to me. But I understood what the producers were tying to say. That Hollywood is all about looks and youth and lacks any substance. But the movie didn't convey that very well. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Steve Buscemi fans, u should check this movie out. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice little gem of a film. Loved every frame. This story resonated with me on many levels but needless to say packs an emotional punch. Highly recommended.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Delirious is indeed a funny satire of the paparazzi with good performances from the main actors. Steve Buscemi plays the loser role well, being one of many sharks trying to take that one lasting shot. However, many of the character development in this movie did not get the attention it should have got: depth wise and personality wise. Take Steve Buscemi, who is playing an adult male making pictures. He visits his parents halfway through the movie and is totally disappointed that his parents don't like one of the many sleezy pictures he took. First of all, this 40 plus year-old guy should know this already, second, it's more of a teenager thing to want approval of his parents the way Buscemi wants it ("don't you like my sleezy picture?"), third, it's really not much of an original, thought provoking plot, although the whole movie basically is counting on it. That's really disappointing. Furthermore, the film is very unrealistic, the main character being such an a-typical bum, way too handsome, way too sweet. The whole falling in love with the movie-star thing, well, I didn't buy it. Sure, it's a comedy, but it could have used a bit more realism and a bit less cinderella meets prince charming. For the rest, i do think it is a fair tale of show-bizz and all the utter bullshit that comes with it. This movie was good, I actually liked it, but it did have mayor flaws. Therefore, three and a half stars is all it's gonna get. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
