Summary

RATING: Not Rated

Starring Evelyn Erickson, Roger Kynard Erickson, Roky Erickson, and Sumner Erickson

The story of Roky Erickson: the manic singer and front man for the legendary band, The 13th Floor Elevators, You’re Gonna Miss Me, is a disturbingly intimate portrait of an imploding family and the struggle between modernized medicine and religion. (Palm Pictures)

TV Guide Ken Fox

Remarkable and evenhanded film.

Austin Chronicle Audra Schroeder

The opening and closing courtroom scenes, in which brother Sumner is granted legal guardianship, show a family in need of healing, mentally and spiritually.

Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy

Like "Crumb" or "The Devil and Daniel Johnston," it's remarkably close-up moviemaking, with family secrets laid bare for all the world to see.

Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer

Complexly intriguing documentary about psychedelic rock icon Roky Erickson.

70

The New York Times Matt Zoller Seitz

Luckily, the director Keven McAlester keeps Mr. Erickson's humanity front and center. He lets music critics and musicians praise Mr. Erickson's smiling banshee voice (which influenced Janis Joplin) and pioneering use of feedback, but he doesn't insist on his subject's genius or oversell his importance.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

I came to this expecting a standard rock doc, but its cobwebbed tale of an aged parent and grown child's debilitating relationship seems closer to "Grey Gardens."

Film Threat Don R. Lewis

A great meld of rock history, the sociological and familial impacts of mental disability and some courtroom intrigue.

Village Voice Aaron Hillis

Director Keven McAlester's film is entertaining. But with battered archival footage and celebrity worship, McAlester skimps on perspective and complexity.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

Has the taint of exploitation.
