Feels Good Man

"[A] sharp, absorbing doc (...) [Its] relevance and astuteness should net it across-the-board appeal. 

"[On its surface] is the sympathetic portrait of a man who created a monster (...) But underneath the lucid digital etymology that Jones energetically glues together (...) is a documentary so much bigger than Matt Furie that it threatens to swallow him whole." 

"The movie is far bigger than Pepe, unveiling itself to be a vital document of our new language of meme culture. 

"[It] is terrific at building up to its argument (...) But buying Pepe as misunderstood and buying Pepe as a character destined for redemption are two different things, and it's the argument after the buildup where 'Feels Good Man' stopped feeling persuasive for me" 

"[It] may not be able to explain everything about these trying times. But Feels Good Man finds the little cartoon amphibian at the crossroads of a whole lot of it." 

"A fascinating dive into a subculture and how one guy was inadvertently caught up in it." 

"The most important political film of 2020 is about a meme" 

"Vibrant cartoon sequences give the movie a refreshing rhythm and visual texture (...) At its best, the movie is a vertiginous, head-slapping examination of the tangible, unpredictable consequences of making art"
