Jul 02, 2011If you love Bukowski you will love this. My love for the man dried up many moons ago. However, the documentary is exhausting in its research and archived footage and even when Bukowski is being a misogynistic, violent human the movie switches tones to suggest what is likely to be the cause of such behaviour. The best person interviewed? Tom Waits, of course.Jonny B Super Reviewer

Nov 11, 2010A heartfelt, interesting portrait of one of America's greatest writers. The presence of Bono felt completely out of place and even a bit intrusive, but aside from that I enjoyed everything about this film.
