"As discomfortingly fascinating as listening to a couple's heated
argument at a table near yours in a restaurant"
Joe Leydon, VARIETY
"A happy or unhappy ending, depending on how you look at it."
Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"The Wild Man cometh! 3/4 STARS"
V.A. Musetto, NY POST
"Fascinating!"
Bilge Ebiri, NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"Equal parts hilarity and heartbreak... the fine line between madness
and genius has rarely been so acutely drawn. 5/5 STARS"
David Sheppard, MOJO MAGAZINE
"Stunning document of an outsider's life unraveling. 5/5 STARS"
Rob Young, UNCUT MAGAZINE
"Derailroaded is a funhouse mirror of a movie that brilliantly
reflects the warped, fractured chapters of Fischer's unique life
story. It's also one of the best documentaries of recent years,
joining Crumb and Monster Road as an unusually intimate look at how we
use art to channel our darkest, most disturbing human tendencies.
4.5/5 STARS"
KJ Doughton, FILM THREAT
"Even if you've never heard of Larry "Wild Man" Fischer, Josh Rubin's
disquieting tribute to the paranoid-schizophrenic performer many turn
you into a bonafide fan. Derailroaded is a fascinating glimpse at how
art can grow from psychic torment."
Damon Smith, TIME OUT NEW YORK
"This sensitive, informed and ultimately melancholic bio-doc sums it
up very eloquently indeed" 4/5 STARS
TIME OUT LONDON
"Josh Rubin's fascinating documentary dissects the life of Larry "Wild
Man" Fischer, juggling the question: lunatic or musical genius?"
Eli Kooris, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"While some scenes are undeniably funny, the film is a sensitive and
haunting portrait of a man who can't cope with the rigors of show
business, yet repeatedly throws himself into its trenches."
Ronit Feldman, DETROIT METRO TIMES
"A hilarious/tragic/bizarre/unforgettable documentary!"
Matt Silvie, SEATTLEST
"Fascinating."
Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"Filmmakers Josh Rubin and Jeremy Lubin present a humorous and tragic
portrait of Fischer who continues to battle his demons even today"
Tim Basham, MOVIEHOLE.NET
"Derailroaded proves haunting and suggestively epic"
Tom Keogh, SEATTLE TIMES
"Strangely fascinating, a devastating portrait of delusion and
fathomless despair."
Nate Lippens, SEATTLE'S THE STRANGER
"Riveting"
Jason Anderson, THE GLOBE AND MAIL
"Like the man himself, Derailroaded is heartbreaking, funny and
fascinating at the same time."- Laura Marrich, NEW MEXICO'S THE ALIBI
"Heartbreaking, but often terribly funny."
Robert Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"For sheer jaw-dropping pleasure, the kind derived from re-learning
that truth is stranger than fiction, Derailroaded is unbeatable!"
David Pellfrey, BLACK AND WHITE
"Demons and genius make strange bedfellows. And we're complicit in the
relationship."
Chris Vognar, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Edgier than Crumb and Monster Road"
Dale Short, BIRMINGHAM WEEKLY
"Incredible Story"
Zac Pennington, PORTLAND WEEKLY
