Audience Member Worst movie. Having Billy Damota in it was the biggest mistake. He is a predator who preys upon women. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know Jack is documentary about the life, death and career of actor Jack Nance. Jack Nance was famous for his lead role in Eraserhead and later on foe his role in Twin Peaks. This documentary is a very sad and insightful look into the actors life and the destructive power of alcoholism. We get many interviews from his friends, family and colleagues, including David Lynch who funded the film. I paints a fascinating portrait of the man and the joy and sorrow he lived through. A very touching documentary. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Very fun and interesting (with the David Lynch segments CLEARLY being the standout moments (in particular, that story about the shark during the fishing trip)), but poorly shot and offering very little insight into such an interesting and obscure individual. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Since Eraserhead (1977), Jack Nance call my attention, maybe for is characteristic, his acting or his partnership with David Lynch and Catherine E. Coulson or until for is unique, but unknown work. When I going to know more about his career and his live, I find that he die alone and still unknown with a injury on the head and that probably had some prejudice against Mexican descent. Well... maybe not, is for this that I want to know more about Nance. The information about Jack is very poor, and "I Don't Know Jack", is a documentary that I hope some day see. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Very fun and interesting (with the David Lynch segments CLEARLY being the standout moments (in particular, that story about the shark during the fishing trip)), but poorly shot and offering very little insight into such an interesting and obscure individual. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent docu on Jack Nance. Very insightful and shed a light on a actor of immense talent and a great deal of personal problems. A must see for fans. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
