Derailroaded Reviews
Film Threat
KJ Doughton
As with all great documentaries, Derailroaded challenges its audience to do some heavy soul-searching.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
You don't have to be a fan of Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer's batty songs to appreciate Josh Rubin's compassionate portrait.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
You don't have to be crazy to sing like Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer -- subject of Josh Rubin's reverential documentary Derailroaded -- but it helps.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Best for fans of outsider music.
Film Threat
Eric Campos
This in-depth documentary is a loving tribute, an entertaining yet tragic tale, of a true singer-songwriter.
Austin Chronicle
Eli Kooris
While there is an odd sense of artistic purity in Fischer's music, Derailroaded never really answers the aforementioned question. Which is exactly how it should be.
Village Voice
Drew Tillman
Mistakes exploitation for empathy.
DVDTalk.com
Bill Gibron
While heartbreaking and indirectly depressing, Derailroaded: Inside the Mind of Larry "Wild Man" Fischer is also a very fine documentary indeed.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Both fans and the indifferent will enjoy the strange, strange story of Fischer's life.
L.A. Weekly
Steven Mikulan
In spite of its sympathy, Derailroaded veers into reality-TV voyeurism.
