The Outsider Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Quite entertaining.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
Unless you're a fan, don't bother.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Toback quickly reveals himself as an insufferable, opinionated blowhard who pontificates shamelessly about the art of the cinema while indulging his own obsessions on film.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Jarecki's tour of Toback's world may glean more than probe. But as these kinds of trips go, even looking at the scenery yields fascinating sights and stirs worthwhile curiosity.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
As is often the case with Toback's films, even as you're shaking your head at his shameless self-indulgence, you can't help but keep on watching.
CHUD
Devin Faraci
Watching The Outsider is like mainlining pure movie love.

Chris Cabin
a piece of maddening hero worship
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The Outsider, Nicholas Jarecki's starstruck documentary about the writer and director James Toback, is a tragically missed opportunity to illuminate one of the more unusual cinematic talents working today.
Variety
John Anderson
Jarecki certainly thinks his subject deserves such an accolade, and he's made a great-looking film to make his case, one that is edited gracefully and briskly -- and leaves the heady aftertaste of birthday cake.
Premiere Magazine
Ethan Alter
Shot largely during the production of Toback's feature, When Will I Be Loved, Outsider features extensive interviews with many of Toback's longtime friends and colleagues.
Village Voice
Rob Nelson
Among the great docs about moviemaking.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The Outsider doesn't have the edge of a race-conscious James Toback film.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
[A] delicious cult-of-personality documentary...
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Toback is not a household name, but he tends to be a favorite among people who have seen his pictures, which are unlike anyone else's.
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
Little more than a glorified DVD extra.
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
Seeing him at work provides little insight into what kind of man Toback is, or even what kind of director he is.
