The Ringmaster Ratings & Reviews

Roger Catlin
Like a few other films about failed film projectss, this one has a lot to offer. It's an enjoyable watch that would only be made better with a fresh basket of just the right onion rings.
A Word with Aramide
Aramide Tinubu
An eye-opening saga about obsession, access, and the craft of storytelling.
Citizen Dame
Lauren Humphries-Brooks
This isn't so much about an unscrupulous filmmaker deliberately manipulating a person for his own gain, but about trying to force a story (and a person) into a shape that just won't fit.

[A] film about obsession, selfishness, capitalist blinders, and addiction that will stick with you for a lot longer than would have a 30-minute show about onions rings.
Loren King
Loren King
Capp's authenticity and enthusiasm, his desire to document a personal passion, makes "The Ringmaster" both an irresistible film-within-a-film and a cautionary tale.
Screen Queens
Caroline Madden
Miraculously, The Ringmaster ends up being a unique documentary with quick-paced humor and vigor-a truly memorable cinematic experience.
Midwest Film Journal
Evan Dossey
Tries to balance the story about a humble man behind a famous food and the documentarian's blind interest in crafting a movie around him, but ultimately feels like it withholds too much to be earnest.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
Capp's slow loss of objectivity makes fascinating viewing. As he later admits, he traded his gambling addiction for a filmmaking one, yet he is not ready to take total responsibility for upending Lang's life.

The Ringmaster - which in itself takes up newer meanings as it goes on, made me sit back and take notice.

Sometimes plans go awry.

It's an alluring minor train wreck to take in, and you can almost taste those amazing rings.
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
Not so much a documentary about a guy who makes the world's best onion rings as a documentary about the failed attempt to make that movie.

Very interesting. [Full review in Spanish]
Moviegoing with Bill
Bill Arceneaux
A consistently resonant mishap madcap of mistakes and moments, all for the glory of film.
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
Finding the through point was nothing less than a Herculean task, and they mostly succeed. The film will play well for future documentarians.

It is this dual aspect of The Ringmaster that makes it interesting
Film Racket
Cynthia Vinney
The Ringmaster sheds light on how passion can turn into obsession and how far people can be willing to go in pursuit of their dreams.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
What I love about The Ringmaster is its honesty and fascinating character study of Zachary Capp and Larry Lang.
