John Callahan's cartoons were and still are genius in depicting life as seen from an oblique point of view.
As this film shows Callahan's life was 'rough do'ins' and the way it is presented here is neither tragic nor sympathetic. It just shows the making of this man. Not once did I feel sorrowful for his plight. The Jona Hill character comes across as a bit shadowy and untrustworthy but in the end that's no so.
If you are aware of the Callahan cartoon phenomenon at the height of his popularity this film is for you.
