Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Like any star turn, Holliday's performance rings utterly true. It's that indefinable but unmistakable reality-beyond-reality called art.

Boston Globe
Rating: 4/5 --
Portrait of Jason is a curious and fascinating example of cinema verité, all the ramifications of which cannot be immediately known.

Rating: 4/5 --
Serves as a sideways time capsule, creating a blurry snapshot of an Afro-camp subculture during the era of Christopher Street bar raids and burn-baby-burn rioting.

Time Out
The star is a theatrical and highly charismatic subject, whose candid descriptions of his life would have been provocatively honest for 1967.
Sight and Sound
A reminder that character is the heart of drama, even in a documentary made on a shoestring.

Both a fascinating look at one man's life and a self-aware critique of documentary filmmaking, Portrait of Jason is challenging but essential viewing.

Product Description:
The portrayal of a street hustler, Jason is articulate, witty and self-aware. He is willing to admit publicly everything which has been considered desirable to keep secret.
