For all its time-worn situations and observations, Delirious has a truth or two to impart about our lust for celebrities.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

As always, Buscemi masters his portrayal of needy desperation, but he still makes Les admirable for his capacity to go with the flow.

Tom DiCillo's Delirious, from his own screenplay, presents a paparazzo's worm's-eye view of the ridiculous world of celebrity culture.
