I didn't like it.

I don't know how old you are misspiggie but this movie is rated "R" which means you need to be around 17 or 18 to be allowed to see it legally, but even more, you need to understand that this movie is more of a documentary about a truly messed up person, so before even watching it you have to have inside your mind the concept that there are a lot of messed up people out there, and neither they nor their life history is gonna' be pretty or something you're gonna' "like."

As for me, I was in my thirties when I first saw it, I didn't "like" it, but I will say it was interesting in an almost gruesome kind of way (like seeing a bloody car crash that you can't tear your eyes away from). This movie gave a somewhat shocking and in-depth look at the messed-up mind and personality of an artistic type. I mean, it could have been the story of MANY artists, many of whom seem to be *beep* up in the head. Take Vincent Van Gogh, for instance.

So, I don't blame you if you didn't like it. But just remember the message from the film, which is, that a lot of artists out there are messed up, and they came from a messed up family. I guess the term is "dysfunctional." Hope this helps.

Either you can't relate to the people in the movie or this movie is too smart for you.

i was 18 when i first saw the movie, and i am 20 now.

i think it is an amazing piece, and unusually amusing and depressing.

i have since watched it 5 times

Well, if you don't appreciate Crumb's work and the times that generated it I wouldn't expect you to 'like' it. It's a true to life sad story about a guy that has to express himself in order not to 'drop out' like Maxon or kill himself, like Charles.
