The soundtrack to this movie was on fucking point.
Dommage que ce film ne soit pas plus connu, il est excellent, et j'ai trouvé originale l'idée de faire un mélange fiction / documentaire. Comment ne pas aimer Harvey Pekar ?
Well directed, Paul Giamatti is a great actor. He holds the whole movie on his acting skills.
Yet, it is a very depressing movie and embodies this whole "man, we're fucked anyway" part of the US. Yeah, you know it.
A pretty average film.Painful to sit through.
Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.
Like nothing you've ever seen. Imagine if Scott Pilgrim vs. the World met Woody Allen, then Banksy directed their interactions.
I feel impelled to become friends with Giamatti after viewing this. Impressive performance, for sure.
the real guy pekar was the only thing interesting about the movie. even for a biopic, thats weak. to me, giamatti is just making a cartoonish depiction of harvey pekar. kinda silly.
Large credit for the appeal of this film is the visionary direction interweaving comic drawings into the film and the masterful performance of Paul Giamatti. Deservedly received awards from independent film festivals such as Sundance.
Just watched the American Splendor, loved the couple and the style but not the music that much
Sad to see him go. Giamatti was spot on.
You will be deeply missed HArvey. Deeply missed.
malam ni batal nontonnya,besok aja dah
I am on a one man crusade to convince someone, anyone, to remember American Splendor and/or Wonder Boys for their Best of 00's list.
Heartbreakingly beautiful. Paul is amazing as usual. Probably my favorite performance of his.
Giamatti at his neurotic finest. Great in it's indie-ness. Funny, heartbreaking, and poignant. It's all tremendously executed and a great pleasure to watch.
The soundtrack for this movie is filled with amazing jazz, which suits the amazingness of the movie.
Without a doubt, one of the most creative films you will ever see. It could very easily redefine the "biopic" genre, simply by allowing us access to the actual subject, right along side the written character. This film gives me hope, and it makes me laugh. However unfortunate...as much as I wish to identify with Wendell Berry, I truly identify with Harvey Pekar, without any shift of my heart or mind.
