Criticism
" The wanted - ambitious portrait of a difficult personality that attributes the shortcomings of the Stars lifelong conflict with his father. A detailed joyous biopic, which largely deals with surface phenomena and its quite dedicated performer of written and directed is left in the lurch, so Dean's personality ultimately is not more understandable.
