WORTH CONSUMING!

id heard a few daniel johnson songs here and there, never anything i particularly liked. grating voice, crappy quality, just didnt really catch me. so i wasnt too keen on watching this at my girlfriend’s insistence.
but its actually really good, even if youve never heard of him. actually its kinda better if you havent, this is a good introduction to him as a person and as an artist. i must say that now i will probably buy some of his music. very well done.

WORTH CONSUMING!

A trifle overlong, but very visually appealing and definitely compelling. It’s very interesting that Daniel himself (Daniel of today, anyway) appears in the film so little, considering that the filmmakers had a lot of access to him (his parents are interviewed a lot, and he lives with them—there are two or three short clips of Dan talking, but mostly he only manifests through old tapes, videos, and other people’s stories. I’m not sure whether that’s because his interviews were incoherent or boring, or because the directors wanted him to exist in a kind of frozen state, lost in the past.

Anyway, it was worth watching. I forget why I put it on my Netflix list, but I’m glad it got there.

I think this is more appreciated by fans of Dan Johnston and people interested in pschology and psychiatry. The Netflix description makes it out to be a comedy when it is anything but, so if you’re looking for something goofy and lighthearted, look elsewhere.
