#110 - American Splendor (2003) Review



American Splendor (2003), Shari Springer Berman, Robert Pulcini
2.5/5

This is a strange and darkly funny movie about Harvey Pekar (Paul Giamatti, Sideways) a miserable guy who writes a comic book about his life. The film is strange and it switches between the fictionalised story and excerpts of the real Harvey Pekar and other real life characters from the comic book. It can be a bit dull and miserable at times which is the subject matter, but it is also quirky and funny. Overall an interesting watch especially for those interested in the underground comic book scene.
