Audience Member Boring film poor waste of money rubbish film and should never have been made garbage and trash Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting documentary about a man I'd never heard of. Paul Goodman was a courageous, self-defeating intellectual, and our present times need more people like him. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Most folks, myself included, had no idea who Paul Goodman was, or his remarkable influence on contemporary social thinking. His major opus "Growing Up Absurd" is considered to be one of the most influential books of the counterculture generation at the time of the riots against the Vietnam war and the huge demonstrations which were organized. A poet, essayist, psychotherapist and on top of that.... a bisexual. This cerebral portrait is insightful and deep -- definitely not for the mainstream moviegoer. I recommend this film for serious thinkers, social historians and up and coming revolutionaries! Bravo! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting man, similar movie to "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson" (2007). One of the inventors of "The Sixties" along with Jack Kennedy, etc. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Goodman is a social commentator that I wasn't particularly knowledgeable about. He certainly played second fiddle to the Beat Generation and then later by Chomsky. I feel grateful for this film as a result. Goodman is certainly an intriguing guy and the film makers give him his adequate due. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
