Focusing on the good doctor's heyday, 1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts....

Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonOver the course of its 118 minutes, the film delves into enough uncomfortable, tantalizing mix-and-match material that even Dr. Gonzo might have approved.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanThe movie also captures Thompson's tragedy: the haze of drugs and bad writing that consumed him for no less than his last 30 years.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttA biographical documentary doesn't get any better than this.
The New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottIt is to Mr. Gibney’s great credit that while he pays due attention to the outsize, cartoonish celebrity persona Thompson fell back on when his literary powers began to wane, this film concentrates on the bold, innovative journalism that secured Thompson’s reputation and assures his immortality.
Salon.com - 9/10 by Andrew O'HehirGibney's immensely funny and sad new motion picture Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson -- the "Dr." was a mail-order divinity degree -- is principally intended to rehabilitate Thompson and introduce his work to a new audience.
Film Threat - 9/10 by Pete Vonder HaarThe July 4th release is fitting, for Thompson was a true patriot. His longstanding association with the counterculture notwithstanding, Thompson loved this country and the things it once stood for, and his voice is sorely missed today, and whether you were a fan of his work or not, you'll find Gonzo well worth your time.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversJohnny Depp, who paid for the 2005 funeral in which Thompson's ashes were fired out of a cannon, narrates with just the right mix of awe and impertinence.
USA Today - 9/10 by Claudia PuigA mesmerizing look at the mythic quality and anarchic spirit of the irreverent and rabble-rousing journalist.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertIt leaves you wondering, how was it that so many people liked this man who does not seem to have liked himself?
About.com - 9/10 by Jennifer MerinAlex Gibney's documentary about bad boy journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is both a memorial exaltation and a lament. Gibney's masterful style balances verite and dramatic effect. He doesn't doesn't tell you what to think, but spurs you to think.
