Reception

edit

Laura Fries of Variety called it "a flawed but revealing snapshot of the novelist in the twilight of his life."[1] John Leonard of New York Magazine gave the film a positive review, "I have to say that Irons is an excellent, if an unlikely, Fitzgerald, with just the right amount of frayed charm and damaged curiosity."[2]
