    Truth is, this story of the out-of-control director and his inexperienced, enabling studio heads -- who allowed Cimino to lock them out of the editing room, hoping he would deliver another Oscar winner like "The Deer Hunter" -- is more compelling than Cimino's long-winded epic.

    A documentary 10 times as engrossing as the film that is its subject.

    Unmistakably sympathetic but mostly even-handed documentary.
