Leave your thoughts about Mr. Fish: Cartooning from the Deep End.
| Hye's MusingsHeidy MoralesThrough candid interviews with Booth, his wife Diana Day, friends, colleagues, and quiet moments of Booth at work, we get a glimpse at his private and public worlds. |
| Movies in FocusNiall BrowneAs much an insight into the world of modern publishing as it is a profile about cartoonist Mr Fish (aka Dwayne Booth), Pablo Bryant's documentary, Mr. Fish: Cartooning From The Deep End is an immersive and edgy experience. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinBooth's conflicted forays into "straight jobs..." deftly illustrate the classic struggle between art and commerce - and one man's uncompromising campaign to tell his truth. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanMr. Fish: Cartooning From The Deep End is a documentary that's worthy of the subject it profiles. |

| User ReviewJohn MExcellent movie! Would definitely see again. Hope it comes out in blu-ray or dvd. |
| User ReviewTory GI want to see it again and soon. Mr. Fish is disturbing, thought provoking, a brilliant artist and gentle. In short, a complex individual. I don't agree with everything he has to say, but he sure got me thinking and sparked dynamic conversations with those that saw the film with me. We all gave this film 2 thumbs up and all for a different reason. Pablo Bryant did a magnificent job! |
| User ReviewSteve AIf you're gonna live in a dystopian, fascist, oligarchical, gaslighted hellscape, you might as well have a few laughs along the way -- they may be your last. Mr. Fish is a must-see, vitally important, Oscar-worthy documentary. Mr. Fish is the nom de plume of Dwayne Booth, a blisteringly honest and uncompromising political cartoonist - sort of an R. Crumb meets Andy Kaufman type character. Booth's political leanings appear to be the left of Howard Zinn and he pulls no punches attacking either side of the aisle. Google Mr. Fish's cartoons and you'll see what everyone's talking about. |

| User ReviewAustin SA must-see DOCUMENTARY ABOUT AN ARTIST WHOse work is ever-so increasingly relevant in our current political climate. a true artist who pulls no punches, sticks to his guns, not compromising his vision. fish is that voice we need to pull off the blinders and give us the truth. this film captures the difficulty of an artist in his profession and his drive to lead and show truth in every medium possible. |
