What Overnight Is About

Overnight, directed by Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith, is a documentary made at the request of their friend Troy Duffy, chronicling how he sold the screenplay for The Boondock Saints to Miramax, securing a deal to direct the $15 million film despite never having directed before, and how his fame and relationships collapsed rapidly once Miramax dropped the project. The film opened in limited release on June 12, 2003. The film holds a 78 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and 60 on Metacritic; Roger Ebert gave it three out of four stars. Who it's for: anyone curious about a documentary on the price of arrogance, following a director's rapid rise and sudden collapse, filmed by his own friends. Who it's not for: those assuming the subject was entirely comfortable with the result, since it later caused serious tension between them, with Duffy claiming the documentary was edited unfairly.
