    Lively interviews from a wide range of people, a wealth of excerpted footage stretching over decades, and a story packed with legend are served up by helmer Joe Angio with a verve mirroring the restless creativity of the film's subject.

    A loving tribute to one of the strangest and most enjoyable figures to emerge from American pop culture in its entire history.

    If anything, one wishes the film would have spent even more time with Peebles in his personal life.
