    Both a fascinating portrait of the first and most infamous paparazzo and a thought-provoking look at first amendment rights. Its subject is charming, but Gast goes out of his way to provide a very reasonable counterbalance. One of the best docs of 2010.

    This entertaining docu by "When We Were Kings'?" Leon Gast is more eccentric personality portrait than the in-depth scrutiny of celebrity-culture madness afforded by fellow Sundance preem "Teenage Paparazzo."

    Leon Gast's profile of the photographer is not devoid of entertainment value or unhelpful in understanding the history of photojournalism, however, the movie is as ephemeral as one of Galella's snapshots of a coked out, B-list celeb exiting Studio 54 circa 1975.
