Larry Fried POV Magazine The filmmakers’ thoroughness digs up a few too many old grudges to fully reframe the comedian’s work as inspiring or misunderstood for newcomers. However, for longtime fans, this is certainly a must-see and a fitting swan song. Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Ultimately, Gallagher’s story is one of intrigue, controversy, humor, and tragedy. Rated: 8/10 Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix This definitive documentary about comedian Gallagher gives a comprehensive look at the highs, lows, and everything in between during his troubled life. The film benefits from Gallagher's participation before his death in 2022.
