Overall Call:
Right off the bat I'll say this one isn't for everyone. I loved it though. It is an unsettling straight up look into the world lived by Robert Crumb. I've been aware, but not extremely familiar with Crumb's work (Fritz the cat and Zap Comix) and the film was still engaging. To say the least it is a very interesting study in humanity. The man is twisted in his own unique way. Terry Zwigoff exposes Crumb's life easily as Crumb himself has little trouble discussing anything. Some will be put off and depressed by the subject matter. There are rather frank discussions of both sex and a rather different way of growing up then most of middle America is generally exposed to. The main facets that will draw you in to this subject matter are either being a fan of Crumb himself or being interested in the psychological personality development from unique upbringings. I found it fascinating. If after reading the back of the movie box you're still interested, check this one out.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Unsettling yet fascinating study in humanity
