... follows his usual style of chronological displacement, leaping around between past, present and future; mixing well-documented events with possible flights of fantasy. Some find this style highly frustrating and, as far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out on Kaufman. His fractured approach to storytelling can be highly effective, but also rather gimmicky. Here, it's the former: Kaufman's unstructured approach to the character's story perfectly imitates the confusion in the mind of Barris (and the viewer) and the cha...more

For British audiences, Confessions could run into problems straight away. Chuck Barris and The Gong Show are not that well known over here, so why should we care about his life story?
