American Splendor Reviews |
The year's most original movie has arrived. First-time feature filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's "American Splendor" is as inventive as "Being John Malkovich," as psychologically quirky as "Ghost World" and as honest as the day is long. [read review]
--Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
American Splendor is a triumph. It’s an original voice filmically combining the comic book vignettes on which it is based with the acted and real story of Harvey Pekar, a man talking about his life in a comic book. [read review] 9/10
--Avril Carruthers (Movie-Vault.com)
Inventive, original and very, very funny, American Splendor is brilliantly directed and features terrific performances by Giamatti and Davis – a very early contender for the Best Films Of 2004. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Cult comic-book writer Harvey Pekar -- crank and peculiar optimist -- is brought to life in a remarkable narrative film that's also part animation and documentary. [read review]
--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
Sweet, funny and off-kilter, American Splendor blurs the boundaries between documentary and drama, creating something striking and original. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
One’s reception of the film as art depends solely on whether you see it as a sell-out or an inside joke that takes some time to assimilate. [read review] 89/100
--Jon Lap (Apollo Guide)
A wonderfully quirky biopic about an ordinary, real guy who is not really ordinary or real at all. [read review] 7/10
--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
