TO SUM UP
A documentary on Henry Darger, a retired janitor who died in 1973 in his rented Chicago room and left behind a trove of artistic expression: hundreds of watercolors and collages, journals, an autobiography and a 15,000-page, typed, single-spaced novel whose title is the same as the film.

READ THE REVIEW
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"Despite its sometimes patronizing attitude toward the man and his work, the film is a revelatory look at (Henry Darger's) life and now highly sought-after art"
The Palm Beach Post: B+
"... adding to the oddity of Darger's child-like world is the choice of young film star Dakota Fanning to narrate the movie, like a surrogate Vivian sister. Throughout the film, Darger remains an enigma, but his art reveals a haunted beauty."
