A documentary about Robert Crumb.

A lineage of broken genetics is passed on to children, one of whom drew odd things oddly and got famous because normies couldn’t or wouldn’t do it. He got and stayed famous because he got there first. Everyone fawns over him to be cool.

There’s a lot of anti-consumerism, anti-industry and general cultural critique. Unfortunately, the whole thing gets interesting only in the latter third, and the good cultural critique is scattered throughout that.

All things considered, this isn’t a great movie, an interesting person or an interesting topic. For people unaware of the reality, this shows the broken side of certain kinds of artist.

Not recommended.

A machine somehow shows that a piece of a person goes somewhere else, and stupid people assume there is an afterlife.

Something something narration and murder-mystery.

Great acting, but not a very good story or presentation.. I just didn’t like it. I only saw this for Michelle Monaghan, and it was worth it.
