Slant Magazine
John DeLorean has a biography that could have been reverse engineered from a Hollywood epic about the rise and fall of an auto-industry mogul. - 85
IGN
Framing John DeLorean deftly tells the bigger-than-life tale of one man’s bold quest to build a timeless sports car. - 80
Variety
An adventurous hybrid. ... It shouldn’t work, but it does. - 75
Movie Nation
Baldwin lets us see glimpses of a movie that might be — on cable or streaming, a mini-series of “The People Vs. O.J. Simpson” style. Baldwin gets the tall, ungainly gait down and the makeup looks like that of a vain, egotistical “winner” who’d had work done to give him that profile. - 75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

The Film Stage
Framing John DeLorean suffers from functioning as two potentially entertaining films in one, fighting it out on screen. - 60
