Roy's World: Barry Gifford's Chicago Ratings & Reviews
Newcity
Ray Pride
A nimble complex of the Chicago childhood of the author who collaborated with David Lynch... a topography of dreams, a dream of topography, a document of impressionistic finery that matches vintage footage to Gifford's own words of youth.
Director's Club
Jim Laczkowski
One of the year's more strikingly original documentaries especially for fans of Gifford and the city of Chicago itself. An impressionistic, dreamlike time capsule that keeps you mesmerized from beginning to end.

We get a nice overview of [Chicago] through Gifford's eyes and imagination as well as Christopher's research matching artifacts to words.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
A gratifyingly candid portrait of the artist.

For fans of Gifford, Roy's World is a no-brainer, but even those who are unfamiliar with his work are likely to find it compelling viewing.
Movies and Shakers
Linda and Al Lerner
Dafoe, Dillon and Taylor bring life to Gifford's writing backed by a mesmerizing collection of quick clips and animation for the writer's love letter to Roy's World.
