    ★★★★

    A really beautiful look at a really singular person; the scene where they play "Friends" by Dana Kletter has stuck with me since seeing it — at least 5, maybe closer to 10 years ago — as one of the more touching moments in any underground music doc I've seen.

    I don't know that it's a great film, but I love an underground music doc, so I love this. Reminded me a little of Benjamin Smoke that way

    More Taxi Driver vibes than I expected. Would have given this 2.5 or 3 stars if it weren't for the last minute or so, which manage to be transcendent. Not half bad, in the end

    Still the best, and I don't think it's just nostalgia. Gets me with something different every time. This year it was "must there be a Christmas that brings this awful scene? How can we endure it?"
