Critic Reviews

Joe Leydon, Variety
Ultimately, the doc comes off as yet another reminder that, in showbiz and elsewhere, one of the greatest tragedies in life is unfulfilled promise.

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
A portrait of the short-lived artist that will move fans while letting the uninitiated witness enough onstage highlights to leave them wanting more.
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
In the stand-up world, to be a cerebral comic in America is to invite anonymity. In his short life, Bill Hicks extended that invitation and, more or less, it was accepted.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Posthumous albums and now this film are securing his legacy and enduring influence.
-
Greg Quill, Toronto Star
The movie's appeal extends to the manner of its construction; it's an almost hypnotic kind of hybrid animation in which hundreds of photographs of Hicks in various poses and at various stages in his life are grafted onto two-dimensional backgrounds.
