- 2015 July 28, Manohla Dargis, “Review: ‘Listen to Me Marlon’ Explores Brando’s Life of Contention”, in New York Times:
- While its subject means that “Listen to Me” is easy to like, Mr. Riley’s shaping of Brando’s words can make the movie, every so often, difficult to fully embrace. Mr. Riley’s handling of the fatal 1990 shooting of Dag Drollet by Christian Brando, Brando’s son, is especially unfortunate, and the use of some tabloidlike news material sleazes up the movie a touch.
