This is a portrait of an interesting and endearing misanthrope, but someone who we all know lives inside of us. Eddie's just more willing to put it all out there, to express that existential angst most modern people experience. Mar 9, 2013 | Rating: B+

The film's unvarying lack of drama or direction can be wearing, but the schlubby originality of its subject fully repays the longueurs. Mar 7, 2013 | Rating: 3/5

Forget the tears of a clown as it pertains to inner psychology of a comedian -- what about the rage of a clown? That's the principal focus of The Bitter Buddha, a doc that's too polite and removed. Mar 20, 2013 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

Few comics with this degree of rage have been this self-aware and comical about it. He's a fascinating blend of NYC anger and L.A. trends. He's a wannabe vegan with road rage. 'Nuff said. Mar 15, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5.0 | Full Review…
