Surprisingly flat. Too bad, since their story would seem like a can't-miss.

Austin Chronicle

Shifting from gritty, monochromatic, cinema verité footage shot around 30 years ago to more contemporary interviews... and other scenes filmed in color, the movie feels a little incomplete.

Rated: 3/5

Christian Science Monitor

What it lacks in coherence is remedied by its verve. Ultimately it's an upbeat movie about life's downbeats.

Rated: B

Proves to be surprisingly touching and engrossing for the most part, even as you keep wishing that it filled in more of the details about the life and work of Satan & Adam. Oh yeah, the music is pretty good as well.

An unexpected treasure. I was just scrolling through and found it. As a performing musician, I was instantly hooked. The music is excellent, as is the story itself, which is as much about their relationship and overcoming unexpected trials as the music. The fact the it is a documentary instead of fiction makes it all the more special.

Wowzer. It has all the wierdness of artists on full display and the magic of art manifesting through that!! Like watching van gogh paint, stop, lose it, and then return to the canvas to paint some more. It really touches on the trancendental of art in so many ways, and a must see for artists, or any odd duck not sure which pond they belong in.
