Movie Reviews of Wesley Willis's Joy Rides
Movie Review: AN AMAZING LOOK AT A WONDERFULLY UNIQUE TALENT
Summary: 5 Stars
Wesley was a close friend of mine. I first met him in 1996, while he was on tour with The Wesley Willis Fiasco. We stayed in touch, and over the years, we became quite close. I was always fascinated by Wesley. His music, art and personality were completely uncompromising. I admired his tireless quest to continue producing music and drawings, and I always thought that his life story would make an amazing film.\
This is not the first documentary that has been made about the life of Wesley Willis, but it is by far the best. I was fortunate enough to catch a screening at the SxSW Film Festival last year. I was struck by how well edited the film was, how much homework the filmmakers had done, (like tracking down Wesley's siblings, father, and high school art teacher), and how respectful the filmmakers were of their subject. It would be easy to tell Wesley's story in the wrong way, (see "The Daddy of Rock & Roll"). It was a relief, and a pleasure to see that these two created something that is long overdue, and will certainly be treasured by many for years to come... A thorough and thought provoking exploration of the life and work of one of the most unique talents of our time. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone. Even if you've never heard of Wesley Willis, you will surely find this film fascinating. I can't wait to own this on DVD.
