Woody Allen's Zelig (1983) perfected the fake documentary a year before This Is Spinal Tap.
Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers

Hilarious Woody Allen vehicle, a mockumentary with special effects ahead of its time.
July 02, 2005
Woody Allen's comedy about a self-effacing man, who swiftly changes identities is original, clever, droll, and extremely well shot by ace lenser Gordon Willis.
January 17, 2006
Allen is one of the most recognizable, and least protean, performers.... [P]erhaps ... someone else as Zelig ... could have got the idea across without the blandly explicit dialogue and brought more dimensions to the role, besides.
December 22, 2011
A masterpiece: a brilliant, even passionate historical pastiche, a superbly pregnant meditation on American society and individuality, and an eerie fantasy that will live in your dreams.

Lampooning documentary tradition by structuring the entire film as a meticulously crafted bogus docu, Woody Allen tackles some serious stuff en route

Brilliant early film of the woodman shows his creative genius as a filmmaker.
June 24, 2006
The comedy tends to the smirk-inducing rather than the laugh-out-loud, and the second half wanders somewhat, but Zelig is a strong contender for Allen's most fascinating film.

Mildly amusing one-joke move.

Zelig is small but it's one of those Allen comedies by which all his other films will be compared.
May 01, 2017
A sublime comic parable about the quest for identity.
