Preview: Paul Goodman Changed My Life (2011)

Synopsis:

Exploring the life and influence of beatnik bastion Paul Goodman, this documentary promises to tell the audience everything about him.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Their tagline about being someone you've never heard of makes it even more unusual that they feature his visage so prominently. If he's someone you've never heard of, are you going to look at his face and think you should see this film?

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Examining the lives of important, yet modernly-unrecognized personages is a noble pursuit, but making a trailer so milquetoast that the average moviegoer won't want to see it doesn't help your case.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
