Review

With more than 2,000 published stories to his name and a genre-spanning body of work—including memorable episodes of Star Trek and The Outer Limits—Harlan Ellison’s career has placed him in a category all his own. But what makes this bracing documentary, 27 years in the making, is Ellison's incredible personal history. In between all the writing, he feuded with Frank Sinatra, sang alongside Barbra Streisand in a Village café, and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If that’s not a life worthy of a film, we’re not sure what is. — Michael Alan Connelly
