Audience Member How have I not heard of this guy before? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member i adore him and his honesty, his husky voice, his dresses and his yellow nail-polish. such a lovely character. i enjoyed every single minute of this film. a total joy to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Only just started watching this, but I'm gonna be audacious and rate it five stars based on the first five minutes. Looks fascinating and the music is like a more mournful, haunted Tom Waits. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Robert Dickerson, aka Benjamin Smoke, was an HIV positive indie-rock front man for the band Smoke, based in Atlanta. I saw this documentary at its premiere at the Chicago Underground Film Festival and was blown away, by the music, by Dickerson's gentle flamboyance and indomitability, by the filmmakers' experimental spirit. A must-see. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A nostalgia bomb for anybody who lived down in Atlanta proper during the late 80s & 90s, made all the more wistful by the mournful music and lingering look back at a time and a place and a person all long gone. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Jem Cohen definitely has a way of conveying the face behind the sound, while not diminishing the effect of the artist's music...
