So well-regarded was the documentary Crumb (1994) that the failure of it and of the same year's equally acclaimed Hoop Dreams (1994) to result in Oscar nominations caused a media furor which forced the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to revamp its documentary nomination process. Robert Crumb is a respected but controversial underground comic book artist and writer whose creations include the popular "Keep on Truckin'" and Fritz the Cat (1972). Crumb's adult subject matter includes weird sexual obsessions, social criticism, and personal, confessional observations about abnormal human psychology. The genesis and meaning of Crumb's work is explained through a series of interviews with his colleagues, former lovers, and especially family members, which reveal a horrific upbringing that has crippled both Crumb and his siblings -- but has also fueled the artist's groundbreaking work. A long-time friend of the film's subject, director Terry Zwigoff followed Crumb (1994) with another comic book-related project, Ghost World (2000), a drama based on a story from the anthology series "Eightball" by Daniel Clowes. ~ Karl Williams, RoviIf You Like this movie you can streaming Crumb movie without downloading HERE

Review For Movie Crumb
Crumb's sense of humor is his saving personal grace and the movie's insurance policy against total immersion into the morbid. But just so you know, Crumb fully earns its most revealing screen credit: 'David Lynch Presents.'Mike Clark-USA Today
Crumb may be rough around the edges, even occasionally tedious, but what Zwigoff manages to uncover is honest, captivating and strangely visceral.
R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD
(An) offbeat and often uncomfortably revealing portrait of the legendary underground comic book artist Robert Crumb and his brothers, Maxon and Charles...
Sean Axmaker-MSN.com
an absolutely disarming documentary and one of the very best of its kind
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
Filled with haunting images, only a few of which are created by the hand of R. Crumb.
Christopher Long-Movie Metropolis
Among the all-time great American documentaries.
Stan Hall-Oregonian
interesting
Stefan Birgir Stefansson-sbs.is
This brilliant docu is not just a portrait of a compulsive artist, but also a deep inquiry into the mysteries of art, creativity, mental illness and family bind.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
Sporadically intriguing but ultimately overrated...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Zwigoff's biography of Crumb is both absorbing and repellent, and it may be one of the best documentaries to make the connection between creativity and craziness.
Thomas Delapa-Boulder Weekly
Geek coolness abounds.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
Unique, profound, and fairly disturbing.
Rob Vaux-Flipside Movie Emporium
Speaking as someone not of Crumb's generation, the film doesn't transcend the typical documentary formula.
Luke Y. Thompson-New Times
I suppose it depends on your interest in the subject. Mine isn't great enough.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
As good as documentaries get. A look inside the bizarre private moments of an important American artist.
Blake Davis-KFOR Channel 4 News
Documentary about a controversial underground comics artist who talks freely about his strangeness.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Shockingly honest portrait of one inspired weirdo and his crazy family.
Scott Weinberg-eFilmCritic.com
Enthralling
Christopher Null-Filmcritic.com
Rarely has there ever been a work as great as Crumb, an achievement resting on both Zwigoff's talent and grace and on the enigma and poetry of its subject.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
A masterpiece of neutral ambiguity.
