Crumb Reviews
The point is, even a screwball like Crumb had more workaday wisdom to get me through the night than most of what the rest of the culture was offering–or still has to offer, for that matter.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 7, 2022
By turns hilarious and grim.

The movie isn't a testimonial or a valentine. It's unpredictable and galvanizing: an empathetic portrait of the artist that also unveils a trenchant view of an American family's dashed illusions.

Zwigoff's film rarely feels exploitative, and the fascination of Crumb and his family should not disguise the director's skill and sensitivity in marshalling his material.

Crumb may be rough around the edges, even occasionally tedious, but what Zwigoff manages to uncover is honest, captivating and strangely visceral.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 14, 2010
(An) offbeat and often uncomfortably revealing portrait of the legendary underground comic book artist Robert Crumb and his brothers, Maxon and Charles...
| Aug 11, 2010
an absolutely disarming documentary and one of the very best of its kind
| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 10, 2010
Filled with haunting images, only a few of which are created by the hand of R. Crumb.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 7, 2010
This brilliant docu is not just a portrait of a compulsive artist, but also a deep inquiry into the mysteries of art, creativity, mental illness and family bind.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 6, 2006
Sporadically intriguing but ultimately overrated...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 6, 2006
Zwigoff's biography of Crumb is both absorbing and repellent, and it may be one of the best documentaries to make the connection between creativity and craziness.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 5, 2006
Geek coolness abounds.
