Before entire networks were built on populist personalities; before reality morphed into a TV genre; the masses fixated on a single, sociopathic star: controversial talk-show host Morton Downey, Jr. In the late '80s, Downey tore apart the traditional talk format by turning debate of current issues into a gladiator pit. His blow-smoke-in-your-face style drew a rabid cult following, but also the title "Father of Trash Television." ÉVOCATEUR: THE MORTON DOWNEY JR. MOVIE dissects the mind and motivation of television's most notorious agitator.

Review For Movie Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie
The movie, made by three former teenage fans of the show, is an odd mixture of admiration and repulsion; even his friends and former producers, interviewed for the camera, seemed mixed in their feelings for him.Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Friends and former colleagues address the lingering question of whether Downey was being sincere or engaging in an elaborate form of performance art. (The answer: By the end of the show's run, Downey himself could scarcely tell the difference anymore.)
Scott Foundas-Variety
Despite the shrieking Valkyries on the soundtrack, Évocateur is as fair a portrayal as the weak-chinned warrior will get -- and fairer than he deserves.
Amy Nicholson-Los Angeles Times
It's crude, funny, hard to look away from, and mercifully short-just like Morton Downey Jr.'s moment in the sun.
Dana Stevens-Slate
Is it flattering? No. Would he object? Not if it got him a little more ink. Because baby, it's all show biz.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
A frank and worthy look at the trashy demagogue who ruled the airwaves in a spectacular, and spectacularly brief, two-year run.
Kyle Smith-New York Post
Evocateur is an excellent effort that tries to make sense of a complicated person. It's both highly complimentary and critical, the kind of balanced overview Downey rarely gave those who came under this show business spell.
Bill Gibron-EntertainmentTell
Chronicles the clamorous rise and fall of its mouthy subject in an engaging and entertaining fashion that also rather purposefully induces a certain queasiness.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com
A riveting biopic about a rich kid-turned-rabid bully and pathological liar desperate enough for the limelight to sell his soul to the devil.
Kam Williams-Sly Fox
A true-life horror story featuring a lead more monstrous than any mere vampire or werewolf.
David Noh-Film Journal International
Ironically for a movie about the ratings value of shock, Évocateur suffers from its own lack of red meat.
Ben Kenigsberg-AV Club
This was Morton Downey Jr., and Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie is probably the film he deserves.

Movie Overview For Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie
Long before O'Reilly and Beck, Morton Downey, Jr., was tearing up the talk-show format with his divisive populism. Between the fistfights, rabid audience, and Mort's cigarette smoke always "in your face," The Morton Downey Jr. Show was billed as "3-D television," "rock and roll without the music." Évocateur meditates on the hysteria that ended the '80s and ultimately its most notorious agitator.TagLine Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie
