Review of Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (2013) by James Adams for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 28 Aug 2013

Évocateur is never less than watchable. At the same time, you have to wonder who’s going to watch it. In an era when fame seems measured in increments even shorter than Warhol’s 15 minutes, a 91-minute documentary about a bug-eyed, chain-smoking sociopath who soared high and fell fast so long ago smacks of folly and misdirected energy, like trying to make a biography out of a footnote.
