USA Today - p.13E - Mike Clark (10/02/1998)
"...[Stiller gives] a fine, rivetingly caustic performance....PERMANENT MIDNIGHT is as enveloping as it is darkly cautionary, thanks to the effectively varied layers of Mr. Veloz's direction and the bitter intensity Mr. Stiller brings to his central role..."
New York Times - p.E1 - Janet Maslin (09/18/1998)
"...PERMANENT MIDNIGHT's Hollywood segments are clever and amusing..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (09/18/1998)
