“Making a movie without really knowing what it’s going to be about is not generally advisable, but Maija DiGiorgio’s Bitter Jester makes that process quite entertaining … Jester is often hilarious and always diverting ...Whole package is a resourceful font of ideas, with no end of visual/editorial gambits (including split screen images) and witty soundtracked music choices. DiGiorgio may fret that ‘Maybe comedy isn’t the thing I should be pursuing.’ Regardless, she definitely has a future as a filmmaker.”
-Dennis Harvey, Variety
“Insightful and Surprising”
-Ryan Shriver, NY TIMES
The best movie made about the business!
An important film where many celebrities reveal themselves to be assholes!
-George Carlin
One of the best movies I've seen in years! Brilliant, Hilarious, honest, with a real punch in the gut at the end!
-Michael Moore
“BITTER JESTER is much funnier and more insightful than a similar documentary, Comedian, which got a theatrical release. If you like to laugh, this is the film for you.”
-Steve Rhodes,
Online Film Critics Society
“...Stroke of genius...”

“Yet there's still something egotistical about this film (Seinfeld’s Comedian) that ranks it below Maija DiGiorgio's Bitter Jester for human interest. Certainly, we never get Seinfeld's version of an incident with DiGiorgio that saw him attacked by her boyfriend as the two documentaries attempted to film in the same club.”
