If there's a fine line between genius and insanity, Ike White blurred that line and for that reason you have never heard of his name. A significantly flawed man, with a talent for music, White is fascinating figure that was a blank canvas for filmmaker Daniel Vernon. Often, the tale gets muddled and it ends way too fast which left me wanting more. At 77 minutes, there may not be much more good to be said about the subject. It's the kind of story that will be made into a series or a film. It has to be. Someday people will know the name Ike White. Final Score: 7.8/10

Los Angeles Times

Like White's music, this film is catchy and engaging, and it leaves its audience wondering why there isn't more.

Frank Scheck

Hollywood Reporter

His music, as good as it is (you can hear the album in its entirety on YouTube) pales in comparison to his story, unearthed in this endlessly fascinating film.

A very different but equally disturbing excavation...

Cinemalogue

More than just an introduction to an obscure artist and his music, this fascinating documentary evolves into a complex look at a enigmatic man whose personal demons overshadowed his creativity and compromised his chances at fame.

The stories were animated well and the cinematography excellent, fittingly dream-like. Its structure allowed for the interplay of different time periods and new revelations, making for a gripping story that was well worth a watch.

Rated: 4/5
