Wilde Salomé

A captivating, enjoyable, often edifying documentary.

"Wilde Salom" is most fascinating as a portrait of a superstar actor who, for all his wealth and privilege, encounters unusual frustrations as he pursues genuine artistic ambitions.

Pacino's passionate look at both Salome and Wilde. It delivers in fits and starts but mostly baffles.

This is an eccentric, Quixotic but highly enjoyable affair.

As in 1996's Looking for Richard, Pacino makes a funny, inquisitive, self-mocking guide ...

[A] fascinatingly wacky expression of a street actor's passion for a work that seems far from his interests or aptitude.

A nostalgic platform for both the writer and star's greatest past hits, here uneasily joined together in a mixed medium which doesn't quite support either of their visions.

Wilde Salom is an ambitious documentary that bites off more than it can chew, and quite knowingly.

Wilde Salome is great neither as a documentary nor a drama.

Al Pacino's documentary 'Wilde Salomé' proves to be more satisfying as an examination of Oscar Wilde and his play than as an exploration of Pacino's theatrical methodology.
