The Devil and Daniel Johnston is an unflinching yet loving look at the outsider musician's life. It's also the most revealing look at genius and mental illness since Terry Zwigoff's 1994 documentary Crumb.

A heartbreaking, yet strangely uplifting and inspirational, exploration of the fine line between genius and madness, and how sometimes, one becomes impossible to discern from the other.

I found the documentary surprisingly diverting as a case study.

To share Feuerzeig's loving investigation is to share an insightful study of the destructive and creative capabilities of the mind.

This well-done documentary will explain why Johnston has never been able to rise above cult status ...
