It's satisfying that the film exists, as an overdue tribute to an artist who can be appreciated even by those with limited patience for Thompson's posturing prose.

Instead of embracing the chaotic discovery that Steadman personifies, the film ends up being merely a paint-by-numbers.

Meet Ralph Steadman and his nightmare visions of a world in pain, revealed in a mesmerizing documentary.
June 5, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
Even if we don't quite get to know the man, the visionary violence of Steadman's acid pen emerges to vivid effect, partly though Kevin Richards's animations, and despite Depp's sometimes over-eager respect.
