Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 12/04/2020
Like White's music, this film is catchy and engaging, and it leaves its audience wondering why there isn't more. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 12/03/2020
His music, as good as it is (you can hear the album in its entirety on YouTube) pales in comparison to his story, unearthed in this endlessly fascinating film. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 12/12/2020
A very different but equally disturbing excavation... Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 12/05/2020
More than just an introduction to an obscure artist and his music, this fascinating documentary evolves into a complex look at a enigmatic man whose personal demons overshadowed his creativity and compromised his chances at fame. Go to Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema 12/03/2020

A disarming act, and it works beautifully. Go to Full Review India Lewis The Arts Desk 05/19/2020
4/5
The stories were animated well and the cinematography excellent, fittingly dream-like. Its structure allowed for the interplay of different time periods and new revelations, making for a gripping story that was well worth a watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

dave d @RT34924333 08/03/2021 If there's a fine line between genius and insanity, Ike White blurred that line and for that reason you have never heard of his name. A significantly flawed man, with a talent for music, White is fascinating figure that was a blank canvas for filmmaker Daniel Vernon. Often, the tale gets muddled and it ends way too fast which left me wanting more. At 77 minutes, there may not be much more good to be said about the subject. It's the kind of story that will be made into a series or a film. It has to be. Someday people will know the name Ike White. Final Score: 7.8/10 See more 12/11/2020 A helter skelter life captured beautifully. See more Read all reviews
