Admirers of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and other Dick literature will enjoy this nonfiction look at the writer, his career, and his eccentricities, some of which were as bizarre as his fiction.
The filmmakers created an animated version of the writer to accompany audio clips of Dick speaking. It's a well-intentioned but unsatisfying invention, which pretty much sums up the whole enterprise.
The documentary doesn't get near the prowess of its subject; it passes through your life like a minor daydream.
Duller-than-a-Vitalife-convention compilation of talking heads.
Both a fan's dream and a moviegoer's nightmare: It ends up being all about those who remember and interpret Philip K. Dick and not about the man himself.
Anyone interested in this remarkably prolific author would be better off visiting a library or bookshop.
Writers are only interesting for what they've written, and for that you'll have to go read.
