Gene Seymour

RTNewsdayMar 2, 2001

Tells a lot more than it shows about its subject, looking more like an infomercial for Dick's legend than a true window into his art and influence.

Elvis Mitchell

RTNew York TimesMar 2, 2001

The documentary doesn't get near the prowess of its subject; it passes through your life like a minor daydream.

Jonathan Foreman

RTNew York PostMar 2, 2001

Anyone with less than an encyclopedic knowledge of Dick's work will leave this film clueless as to what the Gospel According to Philip K. Dick might actually be.

A labor of love, designed to appeal to fans and novices alike.
