just 8 reviews, 6.6 out of 10, this movie is an undiscovered gem, it does annoy me how great indie flicks like this get no air time and no publicity while some mainstream mediocre guff will stay in theaters for weeks... Full review
a light touch helps from time to time, but it mostly works just enough thanks to the actors

Tom DiCillo is a cool New York-based independent filmmaker, and he's made some good stuff in the past (most notably as DP for Jim Jarmusch, and as the director of sleepers like the great Living in Oblivion), and I wish him... Full review

This guy knows how to make a character pop on screen. He may not be a good-looking leading man but he works with the talents he's got. Without his input this may have just been another indie film of questionalble quality.... Full review

Saw this on the big screen at this year's Ebertfest and the entire audience was unexpectedly touched by its skillfully rendered vision of a kinder, gentler Hollywood, one we probably only half know. The movie revolves around the two main leads,... Full review

I love Michael Pitt, which is the main reason I gave this a chance. I'm glad I did, because it was a sweet, very light romantic comedy with a fantasy-type touch. Some of the scenes of Pitt are astonishingly beautiful, and... Full review

Steve Buscemi is at his nervous and creepy best in this story of a sleezy, down-on-his-luck paparazzi looking for a big score and a little attention. Michael Pitt is equally outstanding as a homeless aspiring actor who becomes his apprentice. There... Full review

Delirius has perhaps done the impossible. That is manage to blend equal parts cynicism and fantasy. These opposite qualities work off one another and result in a gem of a movie. The smart observations of the celebrity industry are right on... Full review

Delirious is different, genuine, alive, funny and as close to real life miracle as it gets! This movie is so deep (in a very entertaining way), you feel as if you just read a classical novel; instead of the silly flicks... Full review

A clever script sidesteps the predictable as it ducks and weaves through a set of relationships that tumble and reform.....A story of friendship, sincerity and chance, Delirious is packed with fun on the edgy side of life.....If the performances are terrific, so is the premise, a nicely dark take on fame and friendship, not always in synch..... ...

Tom DiCillo's Delirious is an energetic and hilarious rags-to-riches satire....The film follows Les, a small-time celebrity photographer desperate to make it big....Toby, a good-looking homeless teen with no direction except a vague desire to become an actor.....The script flows well for most of the film, but throws in an out-of-place plot twist near the resolution;.... ...

Here is where the film shines brightest.....Now, after years of struggling and a bitter fight with his distributors, DiCillo has delivered "Delirious," a wicked little comedy about fame, paparazzi, and desperation.....his favorite picture is one of the musician without his trademark hat, a rare sight and a major score.....Delirious" is a welcome return to form..... ...

Delirious" would be a very good film even....DiCillo's script is almost terrific.....Delirious" offers an obvious valentine to Schlesinger's 1969 masterpiece, with blond, blue-eyed Pitt an updated version of Jon Voight's innocent hustler Joe Buck....Buscemi's is one of the best performances of his career..... ...
