Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Amy TaubinAs ethereal, moving, and uncompromising as its subject.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Wesley MorrisThe film has a richer, more various visual texture than most documentaries, combining still photographs, black-and-white video and Super-8 film, sometimes with wild sound or none at all.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by David NohIt is the actual presence of Patti Smith that confers a profound sort of grace on the film.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanMake sure you catch this spooky and strangely moving portrait of this highly unusual artist while you can.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasThere's such a rawness, purity and even mystical force to everything Benjamin says or sings, that anything else would seem extraneous and detracting from the impact of a man who has lived his life with absolutely no holds barred.
User Review - 10/10 by Sergio Mi adore him and his honesty, his husky voice, his dresses and his yellow nail-polish. such a lovely character. i enjoyed every single minute of this film. a total joy to watch.
User Review - 10/10 by Kinch KOnly just started watching this, but I'm gonna be audacious and rate it five stars based on the first five minutes. Looks fascinating and the music is like a more mournful, haunted Tom Waits.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThe first half is amazing. Beautiful, tragic, as surreal as a documentary can get. A portrait of a man who made heartbreaking music as well as the environment in which he thrived (and died). But by the end, the point has been made and the sickness has been paraded in front of you for long enough. I read somewhere that if this were trimmed down to a short it would have been an award-winner, and sadly I think I have to agree.
User Review - 10/10 by Elizabeth Rone of the greatest documentaries i have ever seen...its seriously not given enough cred.
User Review - 8/10 by Rick PRobert Dickerson, aka Benjamin Smoke, was an HIV positive indie-rock front man for the band Smoke, based in Atlanta. I saw this documentary at its premiere at the Chicago Underground Film Festival and was blown away, by the music, by Dickerson's gentle flamboyance and indomitability, by the filmmakers' experimental spirit. A must-see.
