Dolemite Is My Name

« Netflix, en produisant ce film et en le lançant aussi dans des salles de cinéma, rend indirectement hommage à ces grands palaces qui étaient devenus dans les années 70-80 des salles de projection de films pour la population afro-américaine des centres-villes. »

« 'Dolemite Is My Name" is a typical biopic buoyed by its unrelenting hilarity, its affection for its subject and commitment to the time and place it is set. »

« Perhaps the best-ever comedy about the making of a cult hit, it's mainly a spectacular vehicle for Murphy's buoyant comic gifts. »

« As the brash hustler who made 'Dolemite,' Eddie Murphy has his best role in years in a film that's like a blaxploitation answer to 'The Disaster Artist.' »

« He pays tribute to real-life club comic Rudy Ray Moore, a pioneer in the rude-crude-untamed humor that paved the way for him and others. »

« I hope they make a sequel tackling some of his other movies, like AVENGING DISCO GODFATHER! »

« Eddie Murphy delivers what is not just his best performance in a long time, but one of the best of his career - and it doesn't hurt that the rest of the film is pretty damn great as well. »
