Daniel Johnston is a legend, easily said, very unknown legend though. Daniel Johnston is a artist, singer, song writer with amazing talent, loved by many. This story tells of the pain, the struggles, the misery he went through. And through all that pain, and misery, it is so inspiring. The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a wonderful movie, I highly recommend this. Was this review helpful?

The lyrics in his music are absolutely so awful and his voice is even worse than the lyrics, where is the genius. Please give me a break, dont compare this poor tragic person with Bob Dylan and John Lennon, i am sorry but i just dont get it. Maybe the filmmakers were intending this to be a spoof? I am CONFUSED Was this review helpful?

As an isolated teenager, Johnston began presenting signs of unusual artistic ability. He created spontaneous Super 8 films and communicative comic book-style drawings in the basement of his familys home. In the eyes of his fundamentalist Christian family, however, he was simply not contributing to society in a helpful or dynamic way.
After running away and joining a fête, Johnston landed in Austin, Texas, broke and alone. It was there he start to polish his musical career, overseeing to secure a short spotlight on MTV with the help of an apt break. Just when he was commencing to make a local name for himself, Johnstons inner fiends began to appear on façade and what happens then is for you to find out.
MPAA Rating PG-13 for thematic elements, drug content, and language including a sexual reference. Was this review helpful?

The Picture is particularly well-crafted, managing to avoid the ambulance-chasing tenor that might easily have turned this into a voyeuristic freakshow.
But Surprisingly diverting as a case study not only of a talented misfit sublimating like mad to keep his loneliness from consuming him but also of a fringe artistic community (which includes the makers of this film) that rallies to give him the reinforcement he craves.
