I just watched an early screening and this film really works as the
story of a visionary artist of his time, using animation and interviews
the film zips along his timeline with humour and insight.Johnny Depp
plays it straight brilliantly and some of the music really works with
the pace of the film. i really recommend this film for anyone who is
interested in the whole Gonzo idea. Richard E Grant-add words of
insight Terry Gilliam and Jan Wenner add their bit but the real star of
the film is Ralph himself. Telling stories and memories the great
artist guides us through sometimes difficult observations of the way we
have been conducting our lives, his savage pen perfectly accompanies
these raw words of truth about poverty, America and his friends, a
really entertaining watch.
