 "The proceedings become a little predictable... filmmaker Hilari Scarl relies too heavily on music for emotional cues... But to her credit, and the credit of the featured performers, 'See What I'm Saying' creates genuine empathy for its heroes." |

Weak |
 "...the film jumps around aimlessly, repeating dialogue and images of Hoyle's search while using non sequitur discussions of Dali and Eliot to justify its often impenetrably surreal structure.... too disjointed and incomprehensible to be enjoyed as much else besides an exercise in style." |

Good (Not Great) |
 "...condenses the comedian's fascinating life into 105 minutes of interviews, archive material and several decades of performance footage... compelling... sometimes great material is enough to overcome merely average presentation." |

Poor |
 "...an endless series of medium shots of one garishly decorated white room after another, giving it the look of a '70s -era BBC architectural documentary but with the flat, featureless visual upgrade that only digital video could provide.... McKenzie's ugly setting reflects the banality of the people and the story within." |

Fair |
 "For all its claims to stark realism, the film alternates schizophrenically between romance, melodrama, black comedy and blacker tragedy, playing like a fragmented reel of Petty's childhood memories.... one of the most personal, wounded films in years." |
