Burroughs is a documentary portrait of a man who was willing to try everything, and who has so far survived everything. The one thing you miss in the film is the sound of laughter.
Rated: 3/4

One of the most intimate and intriguing portraits of the iconic author... This is no hagiography, with Burroughs captured at his inimitable best and cranky worst.

There is probably a better, more complete film to be made about Burroughs someday, but it will likely contain parts of this film that are irreplaceable.
Rated: B

Brookner's film may not be worthy of the gods, but its certainly a heartfelt portrait of a man who seemed at odds expressing his own emotions beyond the violence inherent in typewriting.
Rated: 3/5

An oft-moving portrayal of one of literature's most prominent voices, an intimate and humanising account of a legend of twentieth-century American culture.

Insightful documentary from the mouth of the man himself. A ton of interviews and clips of Burroughs being Burroughs, great little anecdotes of his friendships and some really raw footage of Burroughs in his element- aka fucked up and messing with guns.
