The film gets as close to Hicks the man as we can hope for, and he emerges as an even more courageous, visionary figure as a result.

Directors Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas work wonders with the old photos, animating and enhancing them to simulate Hicks' excellent adventure.

It's greatness as a documentary is debatable, but as a eulogy, it's damn near unparalleled.

Really only works for the inclusion of Hicks' material itself, though is a fine-enough introduction to those unfamiliar with the iconic comedian.
