Movie Reviews

Time Out - 9/10 by Derek AdamsThis sensitive, informed and ultimately melancholic bio-doc sums it up very eloquently indeed.
Film Threat - 9/10 by KJ DoughtonDo we really want to live in a world void of "Wild Man" Fischers, and all their unique forms of creative expression? Savor the fascinating, thought-provoking Derailroaded, and you be the judge.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoYou don't have to be crazy to sing like Larry "Wild Man" Fischer -- subject of Josh Rubin's reverential documentary Derailroaded -- but it helps.
Variety - 6/10 by Joe LeydonAs discomfortingly fascinating as listening to a couple's heated argument at a table near yours in a restaurant.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenLarry (Wild Man) Fischer, the psychotic songwriter and performer (found to be both paranoid-schizophrenic and bipolar) is sympathetically profiled in Josh Rubin's documentary.
The A.V. Club - 5/10 by Scott TobiasHaving a Rutgers psychology professor comment on Fischer's general symptoms is downright amateurish. In a documentary about a living subject, conclusions are better drawn through rigorous observation, not explained away in some tidy pop-psychological portraiture.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Steven MikulanIn spite of its sympathy, Derailroaded veers into reality-TV voyeurism whenever the former street singer bemoans his lack of fame or breaks into childish caterwauling.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Drew TillmanWild Man Fischer's music is disarmingly honest and heartfelt, but even its charms can't save Derailroaded from ending up a train wreck.
User Review - 10/10 by Ed Fucking HI went into this film knowing absolutely nothing of the man known as Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer. By the time of the end credits I was definently a convert of this man's extroardinarily bizarre, creative and primal music though. A true originator of Outsider music, throughout his career he worked with many big names (most notably Frank Zappa) but his career was always plauged by his manic depression and his paranoid schizophrenia. The film contains excellent interviews with Frank Zappa, Zappa's Wife, Dr. Demento, Wierd Al Yankovic, Barnes and Barnes, Devo, Family members etc. At times this film is very funny, and at other times it's heart breakingly sad. Definently a touching portrait of a difficult man, and one not to be missed for fans of outsider music. That being said, as with all outsider music, these songs won't appeal to the majority of people. While the music is emotionally engaging, often catchy, always heartfelt and sincere, less adventurous music fas will just feel alienated from it. If you enjoy boring msic like The Beatles or Coldplay or the fucking Eagles you probably won't like his music. Even still as a documentatry it is very well done and there are no complaints there. Recommended.
User Review - 10/10 by jackb.I saw Derailroaded in Austin. It made me laugh,cry, and think,as it gave the audience a small look at the love hate relationships Larry had with friends, himself, and life in general . Was Derailroaded the last exploitaton of Larry Fischer.Or 86 minutes of affirmaton that his creativity was noticed and important to the entertainment world? I think the latter.
