Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Admirers of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and other Dick literature will enjoy this nonfiction look at the writer, his career, and his eccentricities, some of which were as bizarre as his fiction.

40
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The filmmakers created an animated version of the writer to accompany audio clips of Dick speaking. It's a well-intentioned but unsatisfying invention, which pretty much sums up the whole enterprise.

30
Film.com
Henry Cabot Beck
Doesn't have the courage or inclination to go inside of Dick's ideas, or offer any kind of structured or detailed approach to his thinking or writing.

30
The New York Times
A.O. Scott
The documentary doesn't get near the prowess of its subject; it passes through your life like a minor daydream.

28
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Duller-than-a-Vitalife-convention compilation of talking heads.
25
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Anyone interested in this remarkably prolific author would be better off visiting a library or bookshop.
25
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Both a fan's dream and a moviegoer's nightmare: It ends up being all about those who remember and interpret Philip K. Dick and not about the man himself.

20
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Writers are only interesting for what they've written, and for that you'll have to go read.
