American Splendor

...antihjälten i ”American Splendor” lider av en obotligt radikal svartsyn.

...this exhilarating and big-hearted cinematic version...shuffles drama, documentary interviews, archival footage, animation, and cartoons to re-create stories from their subject's life.

...a satisfying experience - funny, touching and tragic by turns. And Giamatti deserves every award going.

American Splendor is a perfect mix of style and content. We see and hear the real Pekar, alongside his fictional alter ego, Paul Giamatti, who at one point goes to see a representation of himself in a stage show.

This film is delightful in the way it finds its own way to tell its own story.
