| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittHamer clearly understands the cracked, ruined beauty of Bukowski's poetry, and he has listened closely to the sentiments of a Bukowski line quoted in the film: 'If you're going to try, go all the way.' |
| Reel.comJames Emanuel ShapiroFactotum, which means general servant, shows that Bukowski's stories are as interesting, funny, tragic, and relevant as ever. |
