Leave your thoughts about The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittAdmirers of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and other Dick literature will enjoy this nonfiction look at the writer, his career, and his eccentricities, some of which were as bizarre as his fiction. |
| Film ThreatPhil HallBadly-made documentary on the prolific sci-fi writer. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanAnyone with less than an encyclopedic knowledge of Dick's work will leave this film clueless as to what the Gospel According to Philip K. Dick might actually be. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe filmmakers created an animated version of the writer to accompany audio clips of Dick speaking. It's a well-intentioned but unsatisfying invention, which pretty much sums up the whole enterprise. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe documentary doesn't get near the prowess of its subject; it passes through your life like a minor daydream. |
| Film.comHenry Cabot BeckDoesn't have the courage or inclination to go inside of Dick's ideas, or offer any kind of structured or detailed approach to his thinking or writing. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourTells a lot more than it shows about its subject, looking more like an infomercial for Dick's legend than a true window into his art and influence. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardBoth a fan's dream and a moviegoer's nightmare: It ends up being all about those who remember and interpret Philip K. Dick and not about the man himself. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonWriters are only interesting for what they've written, and for that you'll have to go read. |
| User ReviewGregory Winteresting doc great interviews from friends etc. |
