"It reveals Bukowski to be a far grander artist than his bum's armor would suggest." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"A portrait of a sometimes surly, often foulmouthed, always brilliant artist that is at once humane, horrific, hilarious and deeply moving" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Makes a compelling case for raising him from cult status to the top rank of 20th century U.S. literary figures -- while providing ample evidence of a very colorful life and times" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Definitive and engrossing documentary." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Goes to great lengths to show the man-child behind the barfly, but in its rush to deify its subject, it lacks critical voices and context" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"The dirty old man who became a cult poet and author was a true original, and every minute he's on screen, whether it's reading from his brutally honest work or musing on a hard-lived life for the cameras, it's hard to look away." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Despite the fact there's no lack of raw material, Bukowski fails to place its subject's actions and statements in any psychological or literary context. It's simply a celebration of Bukowski's misogyny and self-abuse" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
Raw and defining documentary about the man--and the myth. | POS |
