See his movie now, brag about your discerning taste for undiscovered talent later.Full Review

Kyle Smith
New York Post

The result is a shaggy rise-and-fall story that is deceptively well-wrought, playing at times like an extremely hip, deep-access concert film.Full Review

Michelle Orange
Movieline

Although its sendup of L.A.'s shallow, self-absorbed show business culture is not exactly revelatory, the film does deliver solid laughs, many of them thanks to Philips' wittily provocative, surprisingly hostile confessional ditties.Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter

Punching the Clown mirrors Henry's act: a minor triumph whose cult following doesn't yet know it exists.Full Review

Village Voice

Holding things together are Mr. Phillips's quiet charm and his songs, which really are funny.Full Review
