DVD Review: Errol Morris Continues Incredible Legacy With ‘Tabloid’

Tabloid Film Review

CHICAGO – Errol Morris is not just a great “documentary” filmmaker, he’s one of the most important living directors. His work is wildly entertaining but not often give deserved credit for being as influential as any filmmaker of his generation. His latest, “Tabloid,” recently released on DVD, is another gem about a unique personality — the director’s speciality. With a bizarre blend of stories that are too ridiculous to be true, Joyce McKinney almost seems to have been designed as a Morris creation. It’s a shame that no bonus material is available for the DVD-only release, but the movie itself is a gem.

Film Review: ‘Tabloid’ From Errol Morris Teases, Tantalizes, Entertains

Tabloid Film Review

CHICAGO – Errol Morris’s “Tabloid” is the sort of documentary so probing and inquisitive that it can’t help questioning its own validity. It’s a story about storytelling, a documentary that deconstructs the artifice of documentary filmmaking and a nonfiction narrative that may very well be comprised entirely of fiction. Such boundless ambition and self-reflexive irony is only typical of Morris, who is surely one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of the medium.
