Reviews:
“I saw delirious on Showtime the other night; and, I really liked it. It was really late at night; but, I love Steve Buscemi as an actor; and, had to see it, as he got top billing! Steve Buscemi was great in Reservoir Dogs, Fargo, Trees Lounge, The Saprano’s; and, even G-force. I really have to give him credit on this one too. He is absolutely passionate within the role of a semi-successful Paparazzi, who takes unstaged photographs of the famous, or nearly famous.
His character, Les, is not the most admirable or likable person. In fact, he is often self-absorbed, spouting off his philosophical beliefs to his assistant, Toby (played incredibly by Michael Pitt). However, it’s Les’ quirks that have the greatest impact on Toby, when he obtains some form of stardom, as he often quotes Les in terms of his feelings and beliefs. Alison Lohman plays K’Harma, and does a great job.
The twist at the end, which is heightened by the tension between Les and Toby was great. This movie could have been a tragedy; but, it ended up being a sweet, incredible story about relationships and romance.” Written by catfish-er on IMDb.com
“Delirious was excellent! I had the opportunity to catch the last showing at the Sundance Film Festival. The show was completely captivating. The storyline was very entertaining and the cast was completely lovable. Alison Lohman was brilliant. I highly recommend this movie if you enjoy character based comedies or if you have ever had an obsession. Character development is what makes this film so great. Tom DiCillo does an incredible job of thrusting you into these character’s lives. Opinions of the characters change periodically throughout the show as you get to know them. When the plot begins to unfold, the story seems to be very predictable. However, you will be pleasantly surprised with a handful of unexpected circumstances. This film is easily one of the most entertaining at Sundance this year. I can’t wait to add it to my personal collection.” Written by fuglyloser on IMDb.com
“Delirius has perhaps done the impossible. That is manage to blend equal parts cynicism and fantasy. These opposite qualities work off one another and result in a gem of a movie.
The smart observations of the celebrity industry are right on the mark. Yet the movie doesn’t drown in satire. Human touches are smoothly interwoven into the plot. Most noteworthy is a scene when Steve Buscemi is desperately trying to attain approval from his sterile, rather nasty old parents. Also a standout moment is the scene that takes place at Kharma’s hotel, when she first brings Toby there. It is amusing to see Buscemi’s character Les become unraveled at Toby’s success. Somehow the ending seemed so right, again showing hope and the good side of human nature among the muck of a mercenary, dog-eat-dog world.
The cast is excellent and the acting superb. This is a little cinematic treasure that deserves some recognition.” Written by azeffer on IMDb.com

Fun movie!
I really enjoyed the movie Buscemi was tops as usual 😀
Buscemi made this story real; played like an ace pro.
After all Les had done for him, Toby turned out to be a cruel, ungrateful, unempathetic Gen
Z’r that pushed good-hearted Les over the edge.
Wishing the end could’ve been more favorable yet expect it was inevitable.
