Photo-animated feature documentary, uniquely narrated by the 10 people who knew Bill best.
Leave your thoughts about American: The Bill Hicks Story.
| Total FilmNeil SmithAn intimate tribute that pays as much attention to Bill the man as it does to Bill the stand-up. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeIt is more a celebration than a lament, and the emotions it evokes are as potent as the force behind Hicks' most inspired comedy. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonHicks deserves a truly great documentary, but for now this one will do. |
| Film4Richard LuckWhile many biographical documentaries reduce their subjects to museum pieces, American presents the erstwhile Goat Boy as a force of nature, as vital and essential as he ever was. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO] ...checks all the boxes for an entertaining and insightful documentary-bio. |
| IFC.comMatt SingerHicks was like the stand-up comedian version of a five-tool baseball player. He could do it all. |
| Brand XAndy KleinRather than simply panning around within still photos, [the filmmakers] have taken images apart by computer and composited them, even moving bits around. ... It's a weird way to recreate missing events, but it's not as dishonest as it sounds. |
| Slant MagazineRob HumanickGracefully walking the line between fan-friendly greatest hits package and newcomer-friendly biopic... |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThis is a perceptive biographical documentary that includes a wealth of previously unseen footage and the affectionate personal testimonies of friends and family members who knew him best. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderLike many documentaries of this genre, it was made by fans, for fans. Even casual observers, though, can see that Hicks was talented, a conflicted young man who deserved more success than he ever got. |
