jorn's Full Review: Crumb
Everybody knows and loves R Crumb's distinctive, hilarious, seriously-un-PC cartooning style.

This documentary shows for the first time the unbelievably disturbed family background he comes from, offering painfully unguarded interviews with Crumb and his two brothers, who set new standards for dysfunctionality.

And for all that, you care about them, and see yourself in them.

So this is a movie everyone should see, primarily as a study of psychopathology, but secondarily as a profile of one of the defining artists of the 1960s, and as a shining example of what documentaries can be.
