Aro Recommended American: The Bill Hicks Story

 

UK 2009, 101 minutes
Dir. Matt Harlock, Paul Thomas
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Documentary / Standup Comedy

Feat. Bill Hicks

 

Aroview: The belligerent standup comedian is posthumously honored in this thorough, well-rounded portrait that, if a little too gushing in its reverence, charts the evolution of Hicks's comedy with the right amount of acid and wit.

Compensating for an early lack of archival footage with pseudo-animated stills, the film eventually settles down to deliver a conventional, yet satisfying documentary experience that worshipers to the Bill Hicks shrine will appreciate immensely.
